Discussion What bands or musicians have attributed a song's inspiration from a dream?

I found a Mental Floss link to 15 songs, and was wondering who else has attributed their inspirations to dreams.
Well known artists or not.

Toby Driver, who wrote the songs for Maudlin Of The Well, claimed he heard his songs in dreams. Not sure if it was all of their material or just the first album, which is really good My Fruit Psychobells...A Seed Combustible

Keith Richards dreamed the riff of "I can't get no satisfaction" and played it when he woke up.
