capri0mniDon't remember any visual or storyline details, but I woke up with the tune to "The Corpus Christi Carol" stuck in my head -- the one that goes:
In yon hall, there stands a bed
The Bells of Paradise, I heard them ring
It's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything.
(The words were not in my head, just the tune. It took me a little while to remember the words that went with it.)
I haven't actually heard the song in years, so the only thing I can figure is the tune was part of my dream, at least just before I woke up. :::Shrugs::: It's better than some of the songs that are being used in commercials, these days. ...
If you're curious as to what the tune sounds like, copy the following bold text,

and paste it into the text window here, and hit submit. Make sure all pop-up blockers are turned off.
I searched for the tune online, at the Mudcat Forum, and discovered that it's one of those melodies with an odd time signature: 6/4, instead of the more common 4/6. Now, from what I learned in my scant music education in school, that time sig is about as "impossible" as "Giving it 150%" ... but there you go...
I've been scratching and doodling around for a melody to base a new song on. Maybe this one is the answer... I'll try it out and see how it works
