That's fascinating that you don't know what language you speak in. I don't speak anything else well enough to communicate, so I never would have known that. |

just something I wanted to bring up |

Apart from English, I know 2 other languages fairly well, but not fluently. I always seem to speak English in my dreams. When there's no speech, body language usually plays a big part. |

I haven't had enough LDs to tell you about my experiences with language, but your 'telepathy' thing makes sense. If you think about it, DCs are just the models we use everyday to predict how people will react in certain situations. It seems much more likely that the predictions our brain is capable of are more general - emotions and such - than actual specific sentences, unless we spend enough time talking to that particular person to have a more specific model of their speech patterns and behavior. |

In dreams, say if you said you could speak..."Gnomish" or something like that, could you just say random words and have people understand what you meant? What I'm trying to say is can you make up languages in dreams? |

Current Lucid Goals
Become lucid in my dreams on a regular basis [ ]

Are you dreaming, Truff? ARE YOU?!
(For reality checks)
Hhaha I can remember last night dreaming about casually chatting with two girls at a party. |

In LDs, where the language thing is more prominent than in regular dreams, I've used English only to my recollection. In normal dreaming anything goes, but mostly gibberish goes, or alienspeak - random articulated sounds, symbols in writing that are not a language anyone knows, and telepathy. |

We who are about to dream, salute you!
I don't really know haha. I know much of the time I speak spanish in my dreams, and sometimes my DCs speak back in english. I guess it's just a matter of what I spoke more that day, as i live in a heavily hispanic area. |

In my dreams I speak English only. I noticed that thoughts also play a big part although they are not words to me as my thoughts seem to reflect the actions of DC for instance if a DC has a sharp object I usually end of getting stabbed because I am afraid the DC will stab me so it unconsciously is willed and therefore happens. |

To me, language in dreams has always been clear and memorable, unless written/read. One thing I've noticed is that I usually don't speak in non-lucid dreams, rather the DCs just talk to me, and I don't have to respond for them to be satisfied. Does this mean I'm a good listener? xD |

That's interesting, because I am know by all around me for rarely speaking unless necessary, and when I communicate in my dreams, I just look at someone and think my words, I never use my voice. They get the point, though. |

Hey there, |
|
I like your point of consciousness adding words later on. I'm pretty sensitive to what I feel or experience, and usually I can instantly come up with a formal speech about what I said in a dream. However, I know I didn't speak clear words at all. |
