I realized it was a theme song for one of the characters in my book, perhaps for if it ever got made into a movie. I realized that I was the one composing this solo, and I felt sad because I knew I wouldn't remember it when I actually woke up, and even if I did I wouldn't have the technical expertise to replicate it. I can't even remember what it sounded like now, only that it was perfect enough to move someone to tears. I've had other instances of this in the past, even when fully awake. Perhaps I was a composer in a past life...or maybe I'm just sensitive enough to pick up on songs as they're being thought into existence from time to time.
This is one of the most painful parts of being a composer/musician, is the enourmous amount of music "lost" in the mind after being heard. I hear music a lot every day, compositions which are breathtaking but only on occasion am I able to in some way capture the music. I always hope that some day each piece will come back to me when I am ready to transcribe it to sound. The music I have heard is otherworldly.

Once in a dream I heard a beautiful song about Raccoon Mario from Super Mario Bros that made me cry with tears in my eyes when I awoke. I think the only dream that had that effect on me.
Also popularly known as the Music of the Spheres by old philosophers.
