Thread: languages in dreams

Yes I have definitely had dreams where I was speaking fluently in other languages. Now whether or not I actually was, or I just thought I was is yet to be determined. I was unable to remember any phrases to look them up afterward. But I'm a reasonable person, so my guess is that my mind was just really really convincing in making me believe I was multilingual. However, I did do a complex math problem in a dream once in about a second and when I woke up, I remembered it and checked it and it was correct! I never could have done this problem without a calculator, and I really hate math. Kinda freaked me out...

I have as well. Fluent German. When I was younger, just as I would be drifting off to sleep, I remember hearing voices speaking to me in a different language. Unfortunately, I didn't understand what they were saying.

And were you lucid when you did that math problem ?

Nope, I wasn't lucid.

i've spoken spanish fluently in a dream, i too looked up some things i remembered and it did make sense. strange thing is i'm not very fluent regularly... once again the power of the subconsious amazes me

I'll keep it short

Yes, Portuguese for me, but half the words i said didnt make sense and most of the time i cant remember what others said to me in portuguese. Right now i cant speak it, but i can understand it for the most part. Also I was never fluent in portuguse either, i just understood it(no desire to speak it)
