Not stated · Date unknown · contemporary study

Just mainly I've been thinking about, I was having some music running through my head I guess, um just um some kind of... Not necessarily that heavy, maybe you've heard of Bobeat, umm yeah just mainly the music here lately, I'm trying to think what the name of the song is, but, uhh just having some music from the band BoBeat here lately pretty..., I think it's bobeat, pretty sure it's bobeat. Um...that's I think the most recent.... I guess I think that'll do it for now.

Notes on the images in this dream from psychology, myth, folklore and semiotics. Each names its source.

Music

Did you know the tune, or was it new? Where was it coming from?

Shakespeare Literature

Caliban tells of the island’s “sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not”, and of dreaming that the clouds opened to show riches, “that, when I wak’d, I cried to dream again”. The music is what he cannot keep.

Shakespeare, The Tempest III.2

Greek philosophy Philosophy

Socrates’ recurring dream said “Cultivate and make music”. Wondering whether it meant music in the ordinary sense, he composed a hymn to Apollo and turned some of Aesop’s fables into verse.

Plato, Phaedo 60c–61b (Jowett trans.)
