Does anyone else dream......

[vernon]

in a foreign language?

Yesterday during a late afternoon snooze I dreamt in French about being in a small grocery shop buying provisions for an evening meal and breakfast. I conducted the transaction in my mediocre French and the French mode persisted for a minute or two after waking when I realised that I was identifying stuff in the fridge in French when I was looking for something to have for a post-snooze snack.

Weird or what?

 

[Keith Oates]

Weird, at least it would be for me as I don't speak French very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Baggy]

I've had dreams in which I was speaking fluent German before - or at least in my dream world it was fluent and made perfect sense...

 

[Fnaar]

Yup, I've had a dream where everything was in German too. I can speak some German, but nowhere near fluent!

 

[Dayvo]

I dream in Swedish and Norwegian at the same time as I'm dreaming in English! I'm tri-lingual and just a tad schizophrenic!

I've not spoken in a foreign language in my dreams (although some might say the Northern Irish accent is close!), but when I dream my dreams are always taking place at my parent's house, although I haven't lived there for nearly 15 years. I never dream of anything to do with my home, just where I grew up. My husband can sometimes be in the dream but usually it is my parents (who are both dead and I know they are dead in my dream but yet I'm talking to them).

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy!

Aw sounds really nice actualy. Not crazy. I often dream of my childhood which was spent on the west coast of Scotland. The best friend I had at the time is often a character in the dream.

French must be well embedded in your brain Vernon.

I sometimes dream in French and wake up thinking and/ or speaking in French. I sometimes catch myself thinking in French while I'm awake. I don't think there's anything odd about it, it just happens.

It happens most if I've been using or listening to French beforehand. Hardly surprising really.

I am German but dream in English, as far as I know, even if the dream has something to do with things German. Perhaps it's due to me talking in English for most of the last 30 years (in the UK)?
Dream on!

Ditto. I have dreamt in French before. I don't dream very often, but when I do it's as a child quite often (seemingly) in the house of my two dead parents. I haven't lived there for 23 years although I did live there for 22 years in all.

I've dreamt in German and Russian - it's a very odd feeling upon waking.

Going back 30 years but a childhood friend who's Mother is German used to talk in their sleep - in German. Their mum was sooooo proud

 

[Crankarm]

I have this odd dream with French, German, Russian, Swedish and American nurses .
