This has been happening to me on and off for about 3 years or so. When I go to bed I'll enter, what I assume is, REM then wake up randomly and hear an unwritten symphony or piece of music in my head. I can hear ALL of the parts being played simultaneously. I'm pretty positive I've never heard any of this music before in my life, whether from when I was younger or sitting in a room with the TV/radio on for background noise. I didn't start listening to classical music until I was about 14.
I've tried researching this on Google but I keep getting some shitty band who's song is called "Singing In My Sleep" or some shit. If anyone knows what this is called please get back to me ASAP. I'd like to research it as much as possible and be able to utilize it because I've had alot of good music that I could have written pass me by in my sleep. Thanks alot

You are not the only one:
The Violin Sonata in G minor, more famously known as the Devil's Trill Sonata is a famous work for solo violin (with figured bass accompaniment) by Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770), famous for being extremely technically demanding, even today.
The story behind "Devil's Trill" starts with a dream. Tartini allegedly told the French astronomer Jérôme Lalande that he dreamed that The Devil appeared to him and asked to be his servant. At the end of their lessons Tartini handed the devil his violin to test his skill—the devil immediately began to play with such virtuosity that Tartini felt his breath taken away. When the composer awoke he immediately jotted down the sonata, desperately trying to recapture what he had heard in the dream. Despite the sonata being successful with his audiences, Tartini lamented that the piece was still far from what he had heard in his dream. What he had written was, in his own words: "so inferior to what I had heard, that if I could have subsisted on other means, I would have broken my violin and abandoned music forever." It was believed to have been a song that was played in heaven but was banished for its negativity against God.
