I'm studying French. I had a pretty good dream recall last night. I know in my dream I was in this palace and I woke up in the middle of the night really drowsy to do something. When I came back to bed in my dream, it felt as though that was what helped me to remember: being drowsy and going back to sleep. When I was about to fall asleep, I whispered something that sounded like "cognate". When I woke up from my dream, naturally, I thought this was a French word. I had a feeling it meant 1st. I looked it up on an online translator and it didn't work. Then I tried "cognait" instead of "cognate" and I got the word "knocked". Why did I say knocked in French before I fell asleep in my dream? Has something similiar to this ever happened to anyone?
