Have you ever dreamed about yourself talking in a different language?
It might be strange but I've dreamt about myself talking in English.

When I dream in Spanish I have nightmares.
Cuando sueño en español tengo pesadillas.
No puedo entender nada.
Sometimes I dream that I talk English fluently (because I am a native Arabic) and everybody is congratulating me for being fluent in English and suddenly someone appears and asks me a question and I don't know the answer , then everybody starts laughing at me saying that I don't know anything . lol
.So if my dream about English was that bad. I wonder ..How bad could be my dream about Spanish ?
I speak in Spanish in my dreams sometimes. I use subject pronouns and Heidita puts me in the dunce corner.
About 2 weeks ago, I tried to expose myself for a couple of days to as much Spanish as possible by listening only to Spanish songs/music, watching only Spanish movies on DVD, reading Spanish textbooks, and of course, hanging out in SD. Then one morning I woke up dreaming and realized I was talking in Spanish. I do not know if I was using correct grammar, but I was sure I was talking in Spanish. Honestly, it felt eerie because I did not think I could actually do that yet.
It happens to me all the time. In my dreams, I speak perfect Spanish.
Yes, sometimes in my dreams, I'm speaking in Spanish.
In my dreams I am speaking fluently in English,But there are only dreams, y me despierto llorando.Buahhhhhhh.
i'm living the dream mi amigo. i can speak Thai and English fluently and right now I'm learning Japanese and Spanish just because i want to Speaking multiple languages feels amazing ^_^
Yes, I dream in English and/or Spanish.
I don't think I've so much dreamt about myself speaking a different language but after 6 months in Ecuador living and breathing Spanish as well as studying Spanish grammar for 2-4 hours every night I even started to dream in Spanish - i thought that was pretty kewl
haha thats happened to me except when i wake up, i don't know what i was saying. hehe
haha, it happened to me too, but not only once. It was me talking to another person but in english cause I'm latin. that happened to me when I was learning.
No but I drempt about my friends talking in Spanish and I didn't know you could dream about something that you had never heard b4.
Well, I dont' think it's strange. It's rather natural for people who learn any foreign language. It's happened to me as well. When I dream in Spanish, I wake up feeling not so much weird as rather proud of myself. Being a beginner an seeing yourself doing your best and communicating with others in plain, fluent Spanish (or even Spanglish) is something amazing. I am now waiting for it to come true one day ("Dream on" by Aerosmith playing in the background

We used to reckon that dreaming in Spanish was simply a step in the process. If you spend a week talking nothing but Spanish as I used to quite often, why would you not dream in it?
My own view of the stages is that you:
1) Can't make out what they're talking about 2) Have reasonable ability to translate backwords and forwards in conversation 3) React in Spanish - that is understand someone else's command, comment or question without translating 4) Think in Spanish 5) Dream in Spanish
Somewhere in here I should slot in reading skills but I suspect that these are really a parallel process. I can read comfortably in Portuguese, for instance, but can't speak it comfortably.
Naturally, if you are natively hispanohablante you can change Spanish to English in the above.
