Can a person's dreams tell us which kind of music they prefer?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18982941?ordinalpos=13&itool...
Retrospective dream components endorsed on the KJP Dream Inventory were correlated with those on the Short Test of Musical Preference for 68 graduate students in counseling psychology (11 men). Among 40 correlations, 6 were significant between preferences for Heavy Metal and Dissociative avoidance dreams (.32), Dreaming that you are dreaming (.40), Dreaming that you have fallen unconscious or asleep (.41), Recurring pleasantness (.31), and Awakening abruptly from a dream (-.31); between preferences for Rap/Hip-Hop and Sexual dreams (.27); and between preferences for Jazz and Recurring pleasantness in dreams (.33). Subjects preferring Classical music reported a higher incidence of Dreams of flying (.33) and rated higher Discontentedness in dreams (-.26). The meaning of these low values awaits research based on personality inventories and full dream reports.

This is a tough one to interpret. Hopefully I will get it right.
If you dream that you are dreaming, dream that you are falling alseep, or awake abruptly from a dream the chances are high that you may like heavy metal. If your dreams are sexual in nature according to the study the chances are high that you like Rap/hip-hop. recurring pleasantness in dreams would might mean that you like Jazz. Finally dreams of falling may mean that you are a classical buff. Hope that helps. Keep in mind that dream studies are difficult in the fact that you have to rely on the person to be honest about their dreams. Also sometimes it is very easy for dreams to get "lost in translation", or become exaggerated by the person recalling the dream.
