Dreaming - 05-04-2009, 04:28 PM

Have you ever dreamt in your study language? It might be your second or maybe even 3rd language?

I asked because I dreamt in Japanese for the first time last night.. Was surreal!

For those who are fluent in 2 or more languages, Do you often have dreams in another language?

I look forward to hearing from you all!


I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I said and all the feelings I hurt.. Please forgive me

Hahah yeah, Last week I was speaking Japanese and I didn't know what I was saying. I was speaking too fast. -_-
I always have dreams like this.

I did that around my 3rd month in Japan. I cant be 100% sure, but I think I was quoting something from 'Soul Eater' in my dream (I was watching a lot of it at the time).

Dreaming for the first time in Japanese I think shows your brain has passed one of the biggest hurdles in "accepting" the language as your own. Congratulations. I remember the first time I dreamed in Japanese, as well.

Wow, can't wait now untill I dream in japanese x)

I don't think I will though, because english is my 2nd language, and I don't think I've ever dreamt in it before (I rarely remember dreams though). I do occationally think in english though. Like for an entire day and things... XD
