If you hear a song subconciously (say, in your sleep) will you recognize if you hear it again when your awake?

Question

Recently I've been listening to my ipod before i go to sleep and sometimes I fall asleep with the headphones still in and the music going, only to wake up hours later with the music still playing. Now, ive always been curious if the songs that i heard subconciously when i was sleeping would trigger something in my brain if i heard them again when i was fully awake. Would i remember a song that i had heard when i had fallen asleep? well thats all haha

Answer 1

http://www.sidis.net/pscontents.htm is a link to "The Psychology of Suggestion"

http://www.bcx.net/hypnosis/discover.htm "Hynosis Suggestion for Subconscious Discovery"

There are a few links that should answer any question you have about subconscious suggestion. From what I gather, if there's a voice, your subconscious 'absorbs' it. Good luck!!

Answer 2

I honestly believe that is true. I have listened to music in headphones when I go to sleep since I was a little kid, like 7 or 8. I'm almost 30 now, and I listen to my iPod at night. I usually can't fall asleep without it. There has got to be some sort of research on this, but I just always know the words to songs.

Answer 3

yes you will. i know this from experience. i did a test and it proved out that you remember 5% more things when you asleep then when you are awake

Answer 4

Yes I think so.
