Sounds Like: Pretend you have this sound but it's pretending it's a ball of sand. Now if you imagine pushing it around it might get the idea that you're just wasting its time. Use a torch on one edge (to speed up the time) and you find out that there's little pieces of rusty iron filings in the sand's eye. Spread some of them around on the surface of the sand as it melts to glass, cool it, break it and you notice that you've cut your finger, but it blends nicely into the sand, glass and rusty iron. Now freeze it. Now imagine the rust, sand and glass getting out of your dream and back into its own, turning back into sound (via dream to digital to analogue converters) and now you give it a listen. Dig it out with a toothpick or something else pointy. Use it as a part of another song.
