sometimes I dream in Amharic which fucking trips me out to no end, because my amharic is lousy and I am by no means fluent, and yet in dreams I am practically a native speaker. I wake up wondering where my reality really is after such dreams..

I am other people in my dreams

My dreams are conducted kind of uh, telepathically. No real talking. It would be interesting to dream in another language though.

Strange. I have the same experience with Spanish. My Spanish is really really rusty and I'm terrible at putting phrases together yet it manages to flow from my mouth with the greatest ease in dreams.

Did it have subtitles?

nicfit 07.30.2010 03:21 PM

Nope, and I think it wasn't even a proper 5.1 dream :(.

I am bi-lingual and have dual citizenship. When I have spent long periods of time in my other homeland I know my mind has "switched over" when I start dreaming in that language.

nicfit 07.30.2010 03:51 PM

Wow, that sounds weird, but somehow "natural" too.
Are "your languages" much different?
I guess so..


In this case my other homeland was the left side of my bed.
It felt pretty weird, I remember bits of the dream and conversations, I was talking with a guy about the big windows and the red painted walls in his house, then we started talking about music and I said somethink about moose steaks I ate in Sweden. Then we went outside and I started taking pics of trees.

This happens.

But I'd say the truth is people rarely dream in words or of words, it does happen, but not often.
I mean, we think something is being spoken, we understand it, we reply, but I bet most of the time they're not real words.

I can't think of any time I've ever made a dream with full conversations; just bits and pieces of dialog-and yet there's always communication...

I often have dreams that I don't participate in. It's just like watching a movie.

It is a hair raising kind of feeling. The languages are Swedish and English. Yes, very different.

I had a dream that I was the only man in the world, and absolutely every female looked like a certain someone....heaven, at first. Then an utter nightmare.

That sounds kind of worrying?
