Dreamt of having a spontaneous rhyme/rap battle with someone on a train about free speech

Very occasionally I'll have dreams where I astonish myself. Sometimes it can be an incredible piece of music with full orchestration and a timeless melody. I'll have it in my head when I wake up, and think if only I could record and play it back afterwards. I didn't just imagine it was great. It WAS great.

Anyway, last night, I had an impromptu rhyme/rap battle with someone on a train who hated free speech. He gave a verse with four lines, and I worked myself up and responded in kind. This went on for like 6 verses (3 each).

Here's the thing - just like a full orchestrated song, I can't do that in real life. I have to think about it, and formulate poems slowly to make sure they properly rhyme and are in time with each other. Someone may argue: "Yeah it's just a dream, so you only thought it was genuine poetry/timing". But I could swear it was real. When I woke up, I had more than mere word fragments in my head; we're talking full sentences. But I gradually lost everything when I went back to sleep and woke up again.

This is kind of the battle that happened in the dream, but bear in mind it's only an approximation of what I dreamt, not the EXACT words, but sort of the spirit behind it. Each dash represents a pause, so you can sort of get a feel for the rhythm too.

======================= HIM:

It's hate - speech - man, - not free - yeah f^%Β£ - that

That includes - call - ing - someone - like me - 'fat'

And - don't - then - ram - ble on - about the First

The - founders were - nuts, and pro - bably - cursed

======================= ME:

You can still - spout - non - sense, if - you really must

That includes - your - in - clina - tion to - cuss.

But free - speech - is - something - we must - keep

No - matter how - far - we go - or how - deep

That took me about 5-10 minutes. I did NOT do it in realtime.

I wonder if this (NOT pre-planned or rehearsed, but impromptu) is even a THING in reality. It'd be kinda cool. I see stuff like this on Youtube, but it's not a quick verse responding to another quick verse, forming a reply that makes sense as if someone is actually trying to respond in a proper conversation or debate....., but instead, a long dialogue followed by another long dialogue, often not even rhyming or in time.

Talking about your dreams publicly is gay.

Not if it's got a fun scientific angle to it. The mind is a powerful thing to create full concertos and poems on the fly.
