Thread: Language switch - no LD?

I have the same situation as Angelpotter. Portuguese is my native language too (i'm from Portugal) and in some of my latest dreams i've been talking to DC's in english and even think in english. In the dream i don't even notice that i changed language. It simply happened. And this is because i've been reading a lot of books, foruns, articles, watching documentaries about dreams, all in english.
It became easier for me to say in the dream things like "I want to speak to a dream guide" than "Eu quero falar com um guia do sonho" (portuguese translation) because apart for a free translation, i don't know any portuguese technical term for things like Dream Guide or WILD or DC, etc.

Thanks for your opinion! I've decided to stick to german in my DJ and add remarks wherever a conversation in english occurred.
Last week I had a pretty funny experience in one of my dreams: I was at a supermarket ordering ham. I ordered in german and the woman behind the counter didn't understand it. I realized that she only speaks english, so I laughed and ordered in english again
