Does anyone else dream in music?

There are times I wake from sleeping, still humming (or mentally transcribing) the notes from a dream. I am quite certain I've never heard the music before, because I don't have that inner question of "Now where does that come from?", so I'll wake singing something my brain concocted in sleep.

I'll go about my business, getting up, brushing teeth, dressing, tidying, whatever, still humming the song, adding the harmonies I remember and making up the ones I've forgotten, inserting a countermelody and a B-section, sometimes taking it into the shower and singing it wordlessly, thinking "this isn't bad; maybe I should write it down."

Then real music or television noise comes on, either from my room or Nimsay's, and the song quietly slips back to dreamland and expires. Ten minutes afterward, I'm hard pressed to remember how any of it went.

So now I have to know: does anyone else do that, or am I just a freak?
