other languages

[WerBurN]

so how many of you guys have had dreams entirely in another language...like a language you know you arent fluent in, but everyone, including yourself, is speaking it, and somehow you understand them...this has happened to me in spanish once, and japanese very often

[Lowercase Society]

...hmmm, but how are you ENTIRELY sure these dream characters were actually speaking Japanese or Spanish, it might have just been jibberish. I have lived in Greece for 7 months, and i might have some dreams, even though i am not completely fluent.

[YULAW]

I get that all the time But it's never the language that im fluent in. Im Fluent in English of course and Japanese and Im learning Farsi but since I picked up the new language everyone speaks it in my dreams and they are far more fluent than I. Its always been a mystery to me, because I would think it's jibberish but these are actual Farsi words that I have not aquired in my vocabulary yet.

[WerBurN]

exactly...thats what i mean....creeps me out lol

[YULAW]

I kinda figured you were talking about that Yep I get that same thing also.. Man sometimes its kinda creepy.

I have had dreams in which the people were speaking to me an a language I do not understand. Although I am far from fluent though, I've had dreams in German in which I was able to convers with the characters in very good German! Ist Gut! Ja!

Once I had a normal dream (non-lucid but I had high awareness) where I was a character in the future, a mutant whose power was running really fast mostly. But I looked totally human. Not myself though. I was called an 'Outsider' by the bad mutants. Anyway, during one part I ran into this like 'Ye Ole Bookshoppe' looking building and put my hands on this really awesome sort of holographic looking globe. And it had sands running underneath it. I put my hands in the sand and it transported me to another place where there was a lof of soft, white light. I was being passed from one person to the next through a maze of tall book cases filled with old books. We got to a section and finally stopped. A guy in a white robe pointed me at a certain book and told me the language in it was very much like one I knew. I took the book off the shelf and opened it and it was in some beautiful, strange language. I interpretted it to be an angelic tongue at the time. I also percieved the book to be thousands and thousands of years old (maybe older than humanity) but was gold bound and in perfect condition. After I looked at it for a little bit, I was transported to an alley behind the book shop. Lots of other stuff happened. It was like the first half of a movie. Everything felt very real. One of the coolest dreams I've had. But I just wanted to tell you the 'other language' part.

I've also been approached by what I percieve to be evil beings. Demons or demons in disguise. One of my last resorts is to curse at them in this sort of jibberish tongue, but I've often had the feeling I was actually speaking a language I didn't know I knew. But they always run away or I wake up, often both, when I do that.

99% of my dreams are in universal, nonverbal "common", which is understood by all. Once I experienced symbolic language, totally unfamiliar to me.

Ive had this in passive dreaming were once some guy was speaking to me in Arabic and I understood everything he said. I didnt understand Arabic but I understand a tiny bit now from nowhere - probably the dream.

[CT]

I once 'slept' in the train, (WILDed without knowing what that was yet) and there was this guy talking arabic on his mobile phone in the carriage with me, and when I slept it turned into a story he was telling and the events played out before my eyes, as if I was watching a movie with a narrator.

The other night I had a dream where my friend came back from England and brought 2 friends with her. One of her friends was Asian and I embarrassed myself and she started to make fun of me in Japanese or so I was told in my dream. When i woke up though it was obvious that she was just speaking jibberish and not actual Japanese.

I'm sure most of you guys heard how our brains are faster than any synthetic supercomputer. It makes sense that our subconscious can organize and integrate knowledge of foreign languages extremely fast, thus presenting it as convincing in a dream. However, our conscious attempts to develop the language in a waking state is a stumbling journey, due to limited learning techniques.
