Thread: Bilingual DCs?

I am bilingual and in progress of learning spanish (I already know french and english (french being my first language). Not long ago, I had a dream in which a DC was trying to get me confused by speaking spanish (some high schooler's stupid joke) which got him more comfused. I even was able to translate what he said.

Getting closer to the point, I was thinking about a conversation I could have with a DC. I started in english and then by accident finished in french and then it strocked me. Could my DCs understand me in all the languages I know? Could I start talking in english to one and then if I started talking in french he would get really comfused? Would he ignore the change and even reply me in the new language I have surprised him with? The dream about the guy getting comfused while trying to talk spanish isn't a proof they can't speak languages we have learned since I'm still limited in spanish and would of gotten comfused myself. Anyways, if you have spare time (and you're bilingual) try seeing for yourself. As my signature says I haven't gotten a LD yet so I can't try myself. Maybe another time.

Put your opinions and experiences!

Given that DCs are the personification of your subconscious, then DCs are probably more able to handle implicitly learned skills--such as language is, largely--more so than the conscious mind.

But remember that some DCs do not know (pretend) anything about Lucid Dreaming, but we do. Knowing that, our DCs do not always have all our knowledge so maybe they do not know all the languages you know...

Yes, but Quark's point wasn't that the DCs are spawned from you and therefore they know the languages you know (I think). What I think he was saying was that, since they are the personification of your subconscious, they could understand what you were saying even if you were speaking a made up language.

The only experience I have had with this was some completely random DC experience where everybody was supposed to be talking some random European language... I heard it as English.

OK, I get it. But could they answer? I've heard of Dream Laws. If one of the Dream Law is that the DCs only speak english, then they couldn't understand French except if I defeat the Dream Laws by making the DC able to understand me. If I ever have a LD (which I will, right?) I'll check.

lol, probably was comfusing. I remember having a dream when I was learning english in which the DCs were talking english so I couldn't understand... Well I kinda did but not fully... Is it possible that my subconscious knows part of language that I don't know?
