Was the dream limited to the spanish you know?

[/ QUOTE ]

As I said I don't really remember much of it. The things I do remember...
1. I was in it.
2. 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.

German was my first language, and I was speaking full sentences at a year old, but I gradually started forgetting it around grade school. Two years of it in high school didn't help much, yet somehow I can still sometimes understand a bit of conversation. Still, mostly all I've got now is flawless pronunciation from my mother's speaking it with my aunts.

A few times, I've dreamed I was my grandfather back in Germany, just doing ordinary day to day things, walking down the street, buying some bread at a baker, having lunch, etc. I spoke fluent German then, and my dream was full of German speech. Even dreaming, I had a feeling of amazement at how fluent my German was!

I also dreamed I was visiting him as a kid in Germany(which I never have), and we walked around town doing stuff. Again, flawless German in copious amounts.

It was funny, I felt like something was "switched on" in my head and that I really had access to much more of my brain and memory during those dreams; like the knowledge was definitely still there and I had actual full, easy access to it.

When I lived in Thailand and spoke Thai I would sometimes dream in Thai. The feeling upon waking was a vague one though: "I dreamt in Thai last night". Never: "I had a dream where a Thai person told me x, y, z in Thai". But I was not a fluent speaker. Now that I am back in American and speak it very rarely, those dreams have gone away.

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.
