Gotta question to ask.

Okay so basically i was wondering if i can practice speaking (my native language is Latvian) English in a Lucid dream ?
I want to become English<->Latvian translator , but i don't get too much speaking practice in real life . So i wonder if you can learn to speak in a lucid dream and then you get the experience in real life? Also aside I could learn to speak with people , as I'm publicly awkward sometimes :D

I haven't had any lucid dreams yet ,but this would be a new refreshing motivational start to get lucid.

So has anyone tried this ?

I guess it could help getting some speech practice, but the problem is that your conversational partners in your dreams will very likely make the same grammatical or vocabulary mistakes as you and your speaking won't improve. Speaking to others who know the language broadens your vocabulary and helps you correct other errors, but since talking to someone in your dream is technically like talking to yourself in a way, none of the people will know the language any better than you, so it stands to argue that you can't really get better. If you just want to practice speaking what you know fluently, then I guess any practice is as good as the next one so long as you speak, so it might help there. :)

I definitely agree with LostRealist. I'm debating to myself whether or not this could improve pronunciation. I think it could, but there is probably evidence against it. What I do know is that you can get over social awkwardness, and feeling weird when you speak a different language around people you know(or don't)

I agree. Chances are your awareness will not be high enough to catch out any errors you make, and your DCs are just extensions of yourself, so they won't know any better I think.

Well, I wouldn't be so sure that it could not correct one's language speaking abilities.

The reason why I think it might: I often forget vocabulary words when speaking a language I have not spoken in a while, but then later on I do remember them; memory works a bit differently in dreams than in waking life, and thus you might remember stuff in dreams that you might forget in waking life.

In dreams our inhibitions are lower, a bit like being drunk sometimes, and part of your problems with speaking the foreign language in waking life may be that you are so worried about saying things wrong that you don't try, and so if inhibitions are lower you might be less shy about trying to speak; furthermore, you may feel weird about talking to yourself, but feel more comfortable talking to dream characters, even though technically it is the same thing.

While you won't learn anything new while in dreams, but you could practice what you already know to make it less likely to forget - a lot of foreign language learning is practicing simple conversations, like "Hello, my name is Joanna. How are you today? I am fine thank you ..." And it may be useful to do that in a lucid dream, just for practice.

Also pronunciation: I think sometimes pronunciation can be improved by even speaking to oneself, realizing that something does not sound quite right, trying to pronounce it better, until it sounds better. My French accent is not very good, but I recognize a good one when I hear it, so I think I could try improving it in dreams until it sounds better to my ear, which may not be really good, but likely will be better than when I started.

Also for me weird is that, in head i speak english almost perfectly :D, but when it comes actually to talking , lets say , freestyle , it ain't that perfect at all , maybe that's because that i'm a bit stressed at the moment or something.

But basically i don't want to learn anything new in dreams (as it's impossible because i know only what i know), but practice the things i already know (as speaking foreign language or speaking publicly)

well you won't know of you try won't you?
And having expectations about if you will fail or not may influence this.I mean you won't lose anything if you try it.
But then again I had dreams where I was skillfully playing an instrument but after waking up I knew it was all gibberish.The music from the guitar sounded beautiful but I know that my fingers certainly didn't played that.

If it's really only to practice speaking what you already know, then I'm pretty sure it could help if you get an LD that's vivid and detailed. Go for it.
