I dreamed that Benjamin Britten had set both the first and second series of the Barrack-Room Ballads (1892 and 1896) for voice and piano; the recordings had just become available on CD. You should have heard Peter Pears on "Follow Me 'Ome."

I have that happen a lot with books I dream.

Same here.

That sounds very much like the kind of music your brain would generate.

I think it involved Major-General Stanley somehow traveling east via Iceland and falling in with the Puritans to help found the early colonies. It was a great "and you never knew!" moment, until I woke up and it made no sense whatever.
