Thread: 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.
