Have you ever had one of those dreams which steps out of the land of Nod and into reality?

The other night I had one, which I didn’t remember until the mid-afternoon of that day.

I then retold the dream to my wife.  

It started out with me wandering in a weird landscape where I encountered a magical cave which had singing emanating from it. The acoustics of the cave, it’s resonance and echo, were so audibly pleasing that I thought, “I bet my Tuvan Throat Singing* would be incredible here!”

I started singing.

Sure enough, it was amazing. The echoes were crazy good!

After I relayed my dream to her, I asked my wife what she thought of it.

She said, “Yeh, that explains why you and the dog were grumbling to each other all night long!”

I laughed.

My wife, not so much.


*In case you don’t know what Tuvan Throat Singing is a multi-pitch type of singing or overtone singing practiced by people in Tuva, Mongolia, and Siberia. I’ve been a big fan of it and Tibetian Monk Singing for years. I’ll be posting a short podcast on the topic in a week or so. Stay tuned, until then
here’s a couple samples of Tuvan Throat Singing:

I’ll assume you have the idea of what the music is now and hopefully you find it interesting.
