Has that ever happened to you? It kind of bothers me because I dream in only english. Even people who don't know or I haven't heard them speak in english...they speak in English! It's their voice but they speak fluent english! It's so bizarre, and I say that because I'm fluent in Cantonese, too. But I never dream in Cantonese... So ya. So tell me, do you dream in different languages?

I rarely have dreams in Norwegian... mostly English actually. I believe it has been once or twice it was in German, or atleast it sounded like German. Weird though. Very.

oh.. i had dreams with different languages, with chinese and japanese around me.. that's definitely confusing because i just only few words in chinese and can understand a little nihonggo.. It is really confusing and I really can't understand what the people around me are talking.

I always dream in English too, though I'm fluent in Cantonese and Chinese!

Yeah I have dreams sometimes where no one is speaking English and yet I understand them just fine ( even though I speak only english.....unless you count the smattering of spanish I've retained from highschool). I really don't think it's any real language either and yet everyone (including me) is just fine and dandy with conversing readily. Weird huh?

I speak two languages - to my parents, I speak our native language, as our background is Chinese; however, I speak English to everyone else. I occasionally let slip and even speak a bit of English to my parents, although they understand me perfectly

In my dreams, there's generally not a lot of speech or whatever, but when there is, it's usually whatever fits the context. If I'm surrounded by friends in real life, I'd speak English, so that's exactly what I'd do in a similar situation in a dream.

Then again, I don't even dream that often in the first place.

i think it's whatever language you use the most is the one you're going to dream since the dreams are your mind saying stuff.
i actually do not pay attention to the language in my dreams. since ther's rarely any talking, but whenver there is talking it's eather english, creol, sometimes french, and lately even spanish, since i've been learning spanish.
