Dreams in other languages?

[deacsoft]

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..

English only at the tables.

I dream in German more than occasionally.

I'm curious about the op's dream. Was the dream limited to the spanish you know? this is very interesting.

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.

Ive dreamt in Portuguese, Spanish, and French on different occasions.

I can speak Portuguese pretty well, spanish above average, and french only a bit.

My spanish prof in college said that she was only comfortable speaking in front of her Costa Rican husband's family after she began having dreams in spanish.
