Why does the ability to hear music in my head and visualize complex objects in my mind increase as I become more sleep deprived?
Is this a common thing? I can do and think things when I am sleep deprived that I simply cannot when I am well rested.
What's the main cause of this?
Help me understand.

No, never. But I believe I've had experiences that might be similar in nature to what LSD reports, do report. I have in the past, awaken in the middle of the night to feelings of disassociation and visual, tactile and sound hallucinations, where I would see things in these vivid pastel colors in complete darkness, see thunder and hear it. I remember seeing dragons, bears and a demonic hand creeping from the corner of my room once too, these would last for some seconds before fading off.
Also, when I would be falling asleep my visualization skills would increase so much, I would see entire cities in extremely vivid detail.
I have not had one of these experiences in the last 4 years.
You have a easier time imagining things because your brain is telling you to sleep. While you can't reason or use logic that well when sleep deprived, the brain focus on memories and visuals to prepare you for your sleep
It's also means you will be able to lucid dream while in that state. If you look up guides, you'll be able to feel and see the transition from sleep to dream. Of course, if you are experimenting stress, you won't be able to reach that state as easily as you wish, but you just need to relax
Interesting that you mention lucid dreaming, as I have been doing that since I was 9 years old, except that 4 years ago I entered a depression and developed an anxiety disorder which has not let me to experience a lucid dream (or any of the other bizarre experiences i had) ever since.
Having another lucid dream has been a insurmountable goal of mine ever since, like a dragon of chaos destabilizing my life into decadence.
There you go, you just answered your own question
because you developed depression and anxiety, it's definitely gonna be harder for you to dream as it's affect your thought process. Try getting yourself a hobby for you to enjoy. If you are being overworked, look into what you can change so you feel less depressed/ect
you could always try anti-depressant pills but these won't truly patch you up unless you are crippled by it. what you do need is to spend time with someone, play video games, or anything that will definitely cheer you up.
you could also try to look into sleeping pills, they will allow you to get dreams but you should look into the side effects
I've ordered Selegiline from an online pharmacy, which I will be testing for some time. I've had good experiences with any most compounds that increase dopamine, in terms of giving me the motivation and focus necessary to dig myself up from the precarious situation I find myself in right now, so I might tackle the main sources of stress in my life.
I am hopeful Selegiline will work.
As you get dumber, you think you get smarter.
