Is it normal to come up with ideas while sleeping

When i woke up this morning, i remembered a fragment of my dream. I was sitting in a cirlce with people, and this one guy was playing the guitar. It was the best song i've ever heard, and i had never heard it before.

When i got down to the living room, i picked up the guitar(which i play) and i was able to recreate the refrain, and something similar to the other stuff. I basically made a song while i was sleeping without doing anything.

Are you able to recreate finished projects from dreams?

    Your brain works harder in your sleep than it does in the day maybe it created something you had in the back of your head that you never knew you had. Anyways it sorts out memories you've had and stuff. It may have been something you briefly thought of and forgot about it until your brain came across it to sort it out *forget* or *remember* and it went into your dream and you remembered about it.

    Paul McCartney dreamed whole songs and then was afraid of writing them down in case he'd heard them somewhere and was copying someone else's work.

    When I'm struggling with something complex and analytical, the three places I get most breakthroughs is waking from a dream at 4am, in the shower in the morning, or on the walk to work.

    I don't think this means either dreaming, showering or walking are involved; just that my brain is most productive between 2am and 10am. Maybe yours is too.

    Actually, I'm completely bound to time of day. Morning posts are blunt, afternoon ones thought-out, evening ones tend to be funnier, and it's flirt flirt flirt any later than that.

    Getting ideas in dreams is good, but you normally have to recreate them straight away or you forget them. I would call it normal though.
