This occasionally happens to me. I remember clearly one dream where I was, ironically, dreaming that I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep. It felt like I was awake (which, when you're awake, you know it), but I knew I wasn't because of the music I heard. It was the classic Super Mario Bros. tune from the NES. All of it. Perfectly-reproduced, even the notes/percussion I never think about.
Original tunes pop up from time to time as well, and they're just as spectacular as what happens to Drag. I've personally done a lot of research into what makes a composition sound good, and with my mind subconciously making music in real-time with that kind of production quality on it is really something to behold for my virtual ears.
I as well never remember any tunes after I wake up unless I happen to be humming it.
There's even one sound that I dreamt of once. It's a particular breed of distorted guitar; the likes of which I've never heard with my real ears. It's fairly similar to what people think of when they hear "distorted guitar," but it has a few qualities that I fine-tuned in my mind when imagining what the perfect guitar would sound like. And there was this whole metal/rock music that my brain made up using it... very nice... Anyways, that was the only time I've heard the sound, and even now I think back on that dream when I think of what it sounds like.
One day, when I produce that sound for real and record it, I will share it with you.

Scientifically, it's shown that REM sleep stages last longer and longer the more you sleep. That is, if you sleep two hours, you'll have short REM periods, while a person who sleeps 12 hours will have long REM periods. Get more sleep, and I think you'll be surprised to find yourself dreaming more often.
