Remote remnants of remembered REM dreams

"I enjoy listening to water sounds and the given recording was taken as a constant background that sometimes is totally occluded by the music, but it is still there, flowing along the musical flow. I wanted the music could be used to soothe oneself or even inducing sleep, but I always like to introduce dissonant or noise elements in my tracks so, who knows if the music will help or not? Maybe it could be used to induce nightmares, instead?  I started working with something representing awakeness, then I also came up with a dreamy melody that reminded to me Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante défunte", and finally, several dreamy sections were growing organically, like the remnants of REM dreams mentioned in the title."
