I’ve experienced this quite often: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia
Maybe an hour or two before falling asleep, I’d hear a dozen or so voices, chaotically making word play in reference to each other. The voices are all over the map: stereotypes of different eras of film and TV, men and women, all different ages. It’s immediately clear that each originates in my mind, and not the outside world. The jokes and quips come so fast and in such rapid succession that there’s no way I could consciously come up with the material - I’m just along for the ride.
This is usually accompanied with visions of different textures and color, faces, places and other things, a cacophony of brass instruments, sometimes full orchestral compositions, sometimes full radio worthy songs (vocal and instrumental) - I often wish I knew how to write sheet music, because some of the stuff sounds pretty good (I have practically zero music experience, aside from being playing the trombone for one year of high school to satisfy a course requirement).
