In French (quite often, no wonder as I lived in the francophone part of Belgium for 30 years) and in English (less often). I even dreamt once in Japanese (whoops, I don't actually speak Japanese: is there a psychiatrist in the house please?)... | | | Erzsébet Czopyk Hungary Local time: 05:29 Member (2006) Russian to Hungarian + ...

The doctor told me that after the narcose I spoke in Russian to him)) Honesty, my children told me that I can talk while sleeping and often in different language. Anyway it is better than snoring...

Of course I've been here in Japan 36 years. My life here is a big part of me. Besides dreams in Japanese are really spicey. | |

I often dream in squirrelese, but those dreams are quite nuts. Human languages - I guess that would mean dreaming of humans, and my brain kind of edits those out. | | | In French And Italian | Jun 12, 2017 |
I am aware of having dreamt in French and Italian on at least a few occasions, although I am much more fluent in Spanish than in those two languages. Oddly enough, I don't remember having any dreams in Spanish, which I spoke fluently (and still do) while living independently and studying in Madrid. Although I would tend to think that there must have been, over the years, many more of them than in French or Italian—I just don't remember any of them.

my wife says I dream in English... | | | Thayenga Germany Local time: 05:29 Member (2009) English to German + ...
And not only in English or Spanish, but also in the other languages I'm learning. It's truly amazing that I can understand myself or the others who are speaking in all those languages. But I guess it works. So I guess that was before the Tower of Babel incident.

My husband told me that I talked in my sleep in Portguese. He said I once said, in Portuguese, the equivalent of "Me Jane, you Tarzan"! | | | Mario Freitas Brazil Local time: 00:29 Member (2014) English to Portuguese + ...
Regularly. In fact, curiously enough, even in languages I know very little like German and Arabic. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: Do you ever dream in the language(s) in which you are not native?
