Paul McCartney dreamt the whole of the melody of hit song Yesterday (although he wrote words later) , he merely wrote the song down upon waking. Not that rare, I have also experienced this, I've written down melodies I first heard during sleep, these are real sounds as if played by an orchestra or group of many musicians. Similarly Mozart claimed he often heard music even when awake as if it already existed and he just wrote it down.
The point being .... where is this orchestra or synthesizer in the brain that creates real experienced sounds, to be heard so clearly mentally but is physically silent
