Dreams in other languages?
This post in the Psych forum got me to thinking about this stramge dreeam I had not too long ago. I have no memory of what it was about, bot I do remember that the entire dream (I would guess 5-10 minutes in length) was entirely in Spanish. I'm American and speak English. I would not consider myself bi-lingual, but I do know enough Spanish to get me by when on vacation in Mexico and such. Meaning I can have a conversation in Spanish but there are still some words I don't understand. Anyway, it has only happened to me the one time. I found it odd to the point of being comical when I woke up. I have never heard of this happening to anyone else before.
Has anyone else ever had a dream in another language? |

Yes, it is not that uncommon. People can even develop different personalities for different languages. I dream in English sometimes, since I use the language so much, although it is not my mother's tongue.

Yes same here, english is my 4th language, meaning I speak it much worse then some other languages and use it less.
For some reason anyway my poker related dreams, which I have maybe twice a month, are always on english.. |

At least 2 of my non-spanish speaking friends were in it. 3. I would estimate that it was 5-10 minutes in length. 4. It was set in a social environment. 5. Everything that was spoken by all of those in the dream was completely in spanish. (I would guss it was only in thew words/phrases/sentences that I know.) 6. When I woke up I laughed really hard about it, spoke a crazy amout of unnesessary Spanish for the next week, and craved margaritas. |

I use French at work and have the "take your work home with you" dreams... in French.
One benefit to these dreams is that I speak flawless French in them. At work, our Brussels office personnel take particular pride in pointing out my grammatical errors. |

I also dream in french at times as I am fluent in both languages. Depends on what I am dreaming about.
