Dreams are weird things, you know? Especially when you get the feeling that you have some element of control over what happens. I've had some strange and interesting dreams in my time, but last night's was actually rather normal.
I was hiking through the woods, across streams, etc. with my parents. At this point I realized I was dreaming and immediately thought of climbing a rock wall with large flat rocks poking out, so it was somewhat similar to a ladder. Sure enough, that was what we encountered at the top of the next hill. We climb up, and we're in a green field just outside of a town. And then the typical RPG "peaceful town" music comes on.
I woke up during this, remembering the music. I got dressed somewhat quickly and went to my computer. There I opened up MilkyTracker and composed the music I'd heard. Speed was of the essence because at some point I'd remember a Guns and Roses song or something and forget it entirely. I succeeded in getting it all in there, played around with effects to get it sounding closer to what I'd heard (adding vibrato, playing around with a trill at one point), and saved.
Just a few minutes ago I rendered the result to .wav format and encoded that to Ogg Vorbis. It's available for download here. It's 384KB, so it shouldn't take too long to download. The music itself is 30 seconds long and you'll get the best effect playing it on repeat. If you're about to whine because it's not .wav or .mp3, consider that all modern versions of Winamp can play Ogg Vorbis, as well as pretty much every other decent audio or multimedia program out there. If you need something to play it, I recommend Foobar2000.
