After reading the recent post on "Letters and Numbers in Lucid Dreams," I wanted to bring this subject up.

I am almost through first semester of third year German, and whilst I constantly learn and store new words, grammer and such, I am completely unable to speak it realistically unless it's with someone I know and trust (Or on MDMA as I now know). Otherwise it fails to flow easily if at all, for some reason I am very uncontrollably self-conscious about speaking foreign languages. If someone were to start speaking German *deliberetly I can understand upwards of 3/4 of it all, the 1/4 are words I do not know.

Yet I have had upwards of 7 dreams in which I am speaking and understanding German at a fluent speed. I remember these and all dreams vividly enough to remember everything I say and hear, so I know it wasn't just my merely thinking it was all proper. Obviously I cannot speak words I do not know, and in turn I cannot and do not hear those in my dream speak words I do not know as they are only mirrors of my own knowledge on the matter.

By third year you know enough to speak about most matters intelligently, so I'm not just all giddy over some 7 year old type of thing. I just wish I could talk like that in real-life.

Has anyone else experienced anything of this sort?


B.T.W. If Hermann Goering was anything in real life like he is in my dreams, then he's a really weird, awkwardly unfunny, guy.
