When I was in high school, I was attached to my headphones and used to fall asleep listening to them all the time. I know exactly what you're talking about when you say you had some odd dreams!
I have never been a big fan of listening to music as I fall asleep, but I always wondered if your dreams would have a soundtrack. I have fallen asleep with the tv on and dreamed that I was in the show!
My theory is as follows: Our bodies (ears) detect the music while we are asleep and send this signal to the brain (as usual), but because a different part of the brain is active while the body is sleeping, the music is processed in the subconscious mind and ends up as part of a dream (if the dream state is active at that stage).
