<p>1. Yes, or do work that doesn't require too much thinking.</p>
<p>2. The daydream fades, new thoughts come up.</p>
<p>3. The music can inspire to focus on something particular. Without music there is room for deeper thoughts but there can be more chaos also.</p>
<p>4. The presence of music is relevant in the sense that music can be as disruptive to DD-ing as stimulating. The relation to music is there, but never constant in nature.</p>

<p>5. I do use my imagination when creating computer music. Not so sure it could qualify as DD-ing, but I guess it could. It's just that I'm not really thinking of movielike scenes in my head, music is more abstract and it's more about short bursts of creativity. I fill in the blanks on a randomly discovered foundation, usually a note sequence.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And while it can happen in daytime, I mostly dream new music at night. It is nigh impossible to convert that to a new piece. Music is as much about quality of sounds as it is about melody, I might nail the melody but not the awesome sounds I day dream.</p> 1. Mostly, no.

<p>1. Mostly, no.</p>
<p>2. I daydream more with the music off. So if it is on, in the car or in the house, I will turn it off to daydream.</p>
<p>3. One of my characters is a musician. Sometimes, when I listen to music featuring the instrument he plays, I imagine a scenario around the performance. I've even made a mixed tape with songs this character could have played. I have several scenarios in which he might play a particular song, and if I can access that song while I daydream, I'll…</p>

<p>3. One of my characters is a musician. Sometimes, when I listen to music featuring the instrument he plays, I imagine a scenario around the performance. I've even made a mixed tape with songs this character could have played. I have several scenarios in which he might play a particular song, and if I can access that song while I daydream, I'll imagine the whole performance. I did this with about six songs, but they all had to feature the instrument that my character played so it couldn't be just any song. This has had the result in ruining these particular songs for me while I'm not daydreaming though, so I stopped doing this.</p>
<p>4. Aside from the scenarios I mentioned above, I never daydream to music. I love music. I'm a huge music fan. Music distracts me from daydreaming. If I'm really into a song, I can't daydream because I'm too focused on the music. For me, music isn't "background"- it's a presence. When random music is on, like the radio or something, it's harder to daydream but I can ignore it and daydream though it's harder. But when I've chosen to play music, I can't daydream. In fact, when I'm trying to control my daydreaming, listening to music is something I do to prevent myself.</p>
<p>5. Interesting, but no I've never done that. Playing music requires too much focus on what I'm doing. I daydream while doing other things, but only things that do not require thought- chores, driving, mowing the lawn, laundry, working out, etc. And I never day dream about the things I'm doing. </p> 1.

1. Primarily yes, but I can DD without it.<br />
<br />
2. If the music suddenly stops, the DD is paused until the music resumes.<br />
<br />
3. With music, I have a specific scenario to play out. Without music, I focus more on dialogue and connectedness between characters.<br />

<p>1-Not really. It's half and half. </p>
<p>2-I continue the daydream, usually without realizing the music is gone. </p>
<p>3-Yes. With music my daydreams are either extremely happy or extremely intense. </p>

<p>#1: Yes</p>
<p></p>
<p>#2 When the music suddenly stops, the daydream is paused, and I then have to reset the music from the beginning so I can experience all of the "visuals" in their order.</p>
<p></p>
<p>#3 When the music is on I feel more of a presence within my own dreams, while when the music is off I feel like a observer.</p>
<p></p>
<p>#4 I believe thats possible, just not in my case.</p>
<p></p>
<p>#5 I've never done that, so I can't answer.</p>
