In your dream were you crying about getting your punk ass thrown out of a hot springs resort because of your stupid tattooes then blaming the world for your own bad decisions?

You can't dream in a language you never heard of.

Most of the words in my dreams are like, "run!" and "there!" I do regularly dream in different languages. English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, but again mostly one word sentences.

I've had a few dreams where I could fluently speak Japanese, although I only know the basics. It was pretty interesting. 90% of the music I listen to is Japanese and a good majority of the movies and shows I watch are Japanese as well, so I don't think it's weird that it gets in my dreams.

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't actually Japanese, but only you think you're speaking Japanese, and can understand it because your mind is programming it to be so.

I mean, in my dreams, I've spoken gibberish once, and understood myself. Does that mean I can speak gibberish perfectly, and if someone was to come up and speak gibberish to me, I'd understand? No, ofcourse not.

If we had a recording of you all speaking Japanese in your dreams, I'm pretty certain it'd 80% be random words, and the rest would be basic words in Japanese mixed together.

I agree with what you're saying. The things in our dreams probably wouldn't translate correctly. Haha. It'd probably be really amusing.

After I woke up however, I could only very vaguely remember what I was talking about. Anyways, I found it pretty odd since I only know a handful of phrases, so I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
I have dreamed in 'Japanese' many times, but like you I only know some greetings and things in Japanese, so it wasn't really true Japanese, but it was deffiantly not english either. It was awesome and left me disapointed when I woke up.
