The Dream Thread

[Brittany]

Somewhere between sleeping and waking, I heard the most beautiful piano solo playing in my head. I realized it was a theme song for one of the characters in my book, perhaps for if it ever got made into a movie. I realized that I was the one composing this solo, and I felt sad because I knew I wouldn't remember it when I actually woke up, and even if I did I wouldn't have the technical expertise to replicate it. I can't even remember what it sounded like now, only that it was perfect enough to move someone to tears. I've had other instances of this in the past, even when fully awake. Perhaps I was a composer in a past life...or maybe I'm just sensitive enough to pick up on songs as they're being thought into existence from time to time.
