I'll describe a segment of my own dream, for example:
The visuals: A fashion runway scene. A model in a soft, emerald green outfit starts off the show.
The music: A string music intro, which led into a cool, down tempo trip-hop (as in Sneaker Pimps; Morcheeba etc.). I still remember the melody of the female vocal and the acoustic guitar.
Artistes do sometimes appear in my dreams with original songs (Duran Duran; Manson etc.) but space does not permit it.
By the way, I'm not a musician, so it is unlikely that I'd pick up a guitar and start bringing those songs to life - unfortunately. Do tell me of your original 'dream music' if you’ve experienced something similar.
I've heard that famous musicians such as Sting have had dreams that inspired their own music.

Yes. This happens to me quite a lot. I play a tiny bit of guitar and have occasionally tried to write tunes while awake, but I invariably find that I have just ripped off whatever tune I've been listening to recently!
The only time I have ever come up with good tunes of my own is when I dream one and it's still there when I wake up. In my sleep I'm like some kind of musical genius, and I can play every instrument! Sadly, same as you, I have never managed to actually remember one of these tunes for very long, let alone record one. Memories of dreams can be very vivid for a time and then just vanish from your head completely - weird.

There have been many times I have dreamt of original music. This has happened to me on several occasions; however, I have also had dreams where I heard music that was not original, and later heard the song on the radio. I don't know if you are aware of lucid dreaming, it is the state of being aware of the fact that you are dreaming while the dream is occurring. It takes practice and there are books on this subject. I mention this because it can help you to remember and/or experience the dream on a higher level of consciousness than simply remembering it after you wake up. Hope this helps.

One time, I woke to find I had written a song. I'd never done that before and it hasn't happened again. I have never even written a song awake. It was about a baker, I have all the words because I wrote it down in the middle of the night, although I have no memory of doing that.

Yes quite a few times, but I never remember the words when I wake up!

I have had some ideas while sleeping, but I had one song that came to me while I was driving and I had to pull over to write it down. I could barely write fast enough to keep up. Words, music, everything.
