Dream In Japanese

[Klint]

For anyone who doesn't already know the language, have you ever drempt in Japanese (or any other language)? This happened to me last night. I drempt I was in some sort of anime, and not only was I speaking to people in Japanese, but I could fully understand it as well. 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.

Yeah this happened to me as well. Before I started my Chinese course, I dreamed of the characters '妹妹'. Someone in my dream told me to remember them because this word was going to be extremely important later on in my life. I don't understand how a word could be so important, but I knew exactly what the word was and even said it out loud tonal marks and all. But I guess I could've heard it said before 'mèimei' isn't that uncommon after all.

"Dreamed", not "drempt".

Or rather 'dreamt'.

I've had a couple of dreams in Japanese. One was where I spoke fluent Japanese and was very impressed with myself, until I woke up and realised my 'japanese' had been complete gobble-de-gook. The other was one where the 'Japanese' other people spoke was made-up nonsense mixed with real Japanese and some english, but I was speaking actual Japanese in response. It was all a bit weird.

Dreams in a language I do not know? Nope.

I dream in Japanese most of the time - even when it involves family or people who do not speak Japanese in real life... Or at the very least, I am speaking to them in Japanese and communication is happening.

It also tends to be the biggest thing that tips me off in a dream that it is indeed a dream. There will be a moment when I think, "Wait, so-and-so doesn`t speak Japanese..."

But I speak Japanese 99.999% of the time. My main exposure to English is the net, which certainly doesn`t involve any speech on my part.
I can`t really recall every having a dream that was in a language I do not know.

Haha all the time. I usually dream in either Dutch or English but when I watch a lot of anime or read a lot of German (magazines/books/watch German movies/ listen to music) then I tend to dream in those languages. But suddenly I understand everything and can say whatever I want, even though I can't speak then fluently. So I guess I sort of change the language in my dream? haha I dunno I don't really remember much details afterwards.

The use of deamt was quite correct, though misspelled. Just because people have ceased to use more proper verb tenses because of the slip-shod verbiage of the media, does not mean everyone has to.

Check you grammar before you correct someone elses.
