What language do you dream in?

[lacktheknack]

My (rare) pleasant dreams? English. But all my nightmares are in gibberish (read: nearly all of them).

Considering how my most recent dream was one of the first where I didn't die in the end, I often wonder how my brain talks to itself.

 

[Abedeus]

Usually Polish, as it's my main. Sometimes English.

I think that once in a while, like, once every month or so, in Spanish. Weird shit. And I think one time I had a Japanese dream.

Offtopic: The captcha told me to write U, then omega with a dash above it. The hell?

 

[CynicalB]

Icelandic ofcourse

 

[Tiger Sora]

English. I never really picked up any french in school. So my grasp on a second language is..... extremely limited.

 

[jakeblues1295]

Ich träume in Englisch, aber manchmal Deutsch.
Damnit I did it again

 

[GeorgW]

I'm Swedish, and I go back and forth between Swedish and English. I usually dream in Swedish and think in English, but it varies a lot.

Thanks to you, all I have are nightmares. That being said, none of them are in Spanish. BUT! Some of them are in Java. Have you ever seen a gaggle of

[Julianking93]

I speak a bit of German and Japanese and I sometimes find that I dreamt in what little of those languages I know for whatever reason.
Doesn't have much to do with the dream itself. Someone or me will just randomly speak it.
Then again, I don't remember much speech at all from my dreams.

English mostly, the best of languages

I have had one dream where I drept in English, but the French were trying to invade the Underdark, so I heard both French and Undercommon. Was a very, very weird dream.

 

[AMX58]

lets i would say Boston English or british english and sometimes a lil irish and most of the times the ole Cajun french an thats where i come from so bon tempa let the good times roll my friends

 

[Confidingtripod]

I tend to dream in a mixture of different things, someone will only say a couple of verbs but the nouns are images that pop into view, then I am a rather abstract thinker

 

[dyre]

I'm not sure that language is even involved in most of my dreams, but if I had to guess, I'd say English. I'm only semi-fluent in one other language (Chinese), and its a lot worse than my English.

Oddly enough, I don't dream about anything. Since my average time of sleep is 5 hours per day, my brain has better things to do than dreaming when I'm asleep. Like resting, for example.

But dreaming is fun, especially when it brings you into some quasi-futuristic world or the zombie apocalypse.

I hope to have a Steampunk setting dream one day...

 

[King Toasty]

Never dream with words, it's always visual. And weirdly boring. I keep having dreams about sitting at school or walking to the mall, but in the day, I daydream about steampunk and other awesome things.

Maybe my subconscious is secretly boring?

 

[GLo Jones]

Unfortunately not, I'm not nearly comfortable enough in the language (Italian).

I do often think in it though, as a method of sharpening it up, and thinking up new phrases. I'm gonna have to pick up a third language in the next year or so, so I practice whenever I can.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

English and spanish, seeing as how they're the only languages I know. I've dreamt in German cause I can speak it pretty good, I just don't understand it, weird I know.

 

[kijebe]

does the language you grow up with effect what language you think or dream in?

if thats so what language do deaf people dreamor think in?

 

[Helscreama]

For some reason I dream in complete silence.

I can't hearing anything being said but understand what needs to be done, like I'm RPing but have no control

 

[SilentCom]

I dream in the dream language where everything is dreamed. Actually I don't really remember what language, if any, is present in my dreams. I normally don't remember my dreams but everything is always known to me in them even without words. Of course, when I wake up, none of it makes sense then.

 

[GenericAmerican]

This is weird, because just last night one of my dreams was entirely in German, and I understood every word; mind you I only know a small bit of German.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

I speak English as my first language, and speak Japanese and Spanish very poorly. That said, I dream in Japanese often, and my mom's told me that when she used to wake me for school I would occasionally spout something in Spanish.

I don't know why it is, but I'd say I dream in Japanese about 20% of the time, English 60% of the time, and the other 20% is silent/pure visuals.
