foreign language replication?

I was listening to El Desierto by Lhasa de Sela and surfing dreamviews when I began to wonder how well I could replicate spanish in a lucid dream with my super-limited to zero comprehension of the language. If I were to say summon a spanish-speaking dream character in a lucid dream how real would it sound? What would it sound like? And I have taken spanish courses in school so would it possibly be somewhat accurate?? Think of how good music sounds in a lucid dream... to me, it always amazes me how realistic songs sound in dreams even when I really have little-to-no musical ability, so how about languages that I don't speak? Could I replicate the flow, the rhythm, the accent?

Then another wave of inspiration hit me! Could one use lucid dreaming as an aid to learning and mastering another language?? One could utilize the dream plane as a language-learning training center! Think of this, say you have a very basic understanding of a language, in my case spanish. You probably theoretically could hold a conversation in the language but you have a very limited vocabulary and phrasing capabilities. Only you know how much you know, so you can't really hold a conversation in real life, BUT. But we are lucid dreamers! We possess the ability to speak to many versions of ourselves and potentially can have full control over our environment, and in a manner of speaking, conversation=people+situations. SO. Wouldn't the lucid dream be the ideal place for rehashing your knowledge on a language and polishing your skills? With no judgement or failure? I like it!

Anywho, there is something about this I find very intriguing. So. I guess I'd like to know if this idea has been presented before on this site, if anyone has any experience with language stuff in dreams, and if anybody would like to try something like this in their next lucid dream-I know I will.

I think you could, depends on how lucid you are too IMO. I have spoken other languages that I am not fluent in before in the dreamworld and didn't skip a beat, sometimes I had to "think" about the words, sometimes I was at a loss for words, it just depends, there are so many different circumstances. I only speak two in real life, English and Spanish.
Keep us updated on how your lucid language goes.

thank you for your reply, vivedream

next lucid dream I have, I think I'll try and go to mexico


so you speak spanish... what is your first language?

and do you think you could possibly tell me what this song is about?

I think it's possible to replicate Spanish in a dream, if you've heard it enough (correctly) in real life. As in, if you've seen movies or heard songs in Spanish, not just "I heard another native-English speaker speak it."

I'm unsure how dreaming will affect the syntax of the language. The accents sound really good, and the words are actually understandable, but in my non-lucid foreign dreams, the sentence structure can be wonky, and the DCs may use Spanglish (even if I know the Spanish word for what they are speaking in English!).

When you're dreaming, you seem to speak the language as you think it and not as you really speak it, so if you can "think" in Spanish pretty well, chances are that you can "handle" a conversation in Spanish when you're dreaming.

I'm a native Mexican, and I speak Spanish (because I live in Mexico), but in most of my dreams I speak English very fluently, my dream journal is in English actually, even though in reality I don't speak English really well, it's kind of weird.

I have dreamt of Japanese voices, and they seem incredibly accurate even though I don't know what the hell they're saying.
