Dream In Japanese
 

For anyone who doesn't already know the language, have you ever drempt in Japanese (or any other language)? This happened to me last night. I drempt I was in some sort of anime, and not only was I speaking to people in Japanese, but I could fully understand it as well. After I woke up however, I could only very vaguely remember what I was talking about. Anyways, I found it pretty odd since I only know a handful of phrases, so I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Yeah this happened to me as well. Before I started my Chinese course, I dreamed of the characters '妹妹'. Someone in my dream told me to remember them because this word was going to be extremely important later on in my life. I don't understand how a word could be so important, but I knew exactly what the word was and even said it out loud tonal marks and all. But I guess I could've heard it said before 'mèimei' isn't that uncommon after all. :p

"Dreamed", not "drempt".

I dreamed in French a couple of times.

Or rather 'dreamt'. :)

I've had a couple of dreams in Japanese. One was where I spoke fluent Japanese and was very impressed with myself, until I woke up and realised my 'japanese' had been complete gobble-de-gook. The other was one where the 'Japanese' other people spoke was made-up nonsense mixed with real Japanese and some english, but I was speaking actual Japanese in response. It was all a bit weird.

Dreams in a language I do not know? Nope.

I dream in Japanese most of the time - even when it involves family or people who do not speak Japanese in real life... Or at the very least, I am speaking to them in Japanese and communication is happening.

It also tends to be the biggest thing that tips me off in a dream that it is indeed a dream. There will be a moment when I think, "Wait, so-and-so doesn`t speak Japanese..."

But I speak Japanese 99.999% of the time. My main exposure to English is the net, which certainly doesn`t involve any speech on my part.
I can`t really recall every having a dream that was in a language I do not know.

Haha all the time. I usually dream in either Dutch or English but when I watch a lot of anime or read a lot of German (magazines/books/watch German movies/ listen to music) then I tend to dream in those languages. But suddenly I understand everything and can say whatever I want, even though I can't speak then fluently. So I guess I sort of change the language in my dream? haha I dunno I don't really remember much details afterwards.

The use of deamt was quite correct, though misspelled. Just because people have ceased to use more proper verb tenses because of the slip-shod verbiage of the media, does not mean everyone has to.

Check you grammar before you correct someone elses.

lol way to be smart

well, i once dreamt that i was a unicorn.. and we all spoke in the language of the unicorns.. ygreddite
Unicorns friggin ROCK!!! :rheart:

I love it when that happens. That's why I never use say that to other people, because it always backfires.

Enough irony to press a few shirts, heh. That's why grammar arguments on the internet never work out...because none of us is perfect :P

Also, typing on a laptop is like using a ouija board...

I wondering whether or not I spelt that correctly when I posted it. Oh well...

I had another dream last night, just a lot weirder. I was driving this thing out of control down a crowded highway dodging cars, when I ended up crashing (it was like playing mono mode in Audiosurf). Somehow I ended up somewhere in Japan, but in this dream I didn't know the language. So I stumbled around for a little while lost looking for someone who knew English to help me out and tell me where I was. That's when I woke up. :o

One of the strangest dreams I think I've ever had. :confused:

I have dreamt in another lanugage but i did/didnt really understand it :/ it was weird.

Oi! YA YA YA
 

Honestly, I have no idea what I dream in, I understand everything reguardless anyhow. For instance, last night I was at an Iraqi Checkpoint, with Stormtroopers...from Star Wars...and I under stood everything fine. Despite the fact I never been to Iraq and I don't know any Stormtroopers, least not personally.

On rare occasions I have dreams in a language I can't seem to figure out. In high school, a friend spent the night and told me the next day I was talking in my sleep and she couldn't figure out what language it was either. :confused:

Maybe the cold hard truth of the matter is that we are all crazy. ;)

I actually had a dream where I spoke japanese and another where I spoke korean. I understood everything too!! Lol Though one thing that freaked me out was I fell asleep watching a tv show that was in japanese but the channel broadcasted shows that were in all kinds of languages. I heard all of it in my sleep and when I woke up, my mind was completely blank! I couldn't speak anything!~ It was hilarious

I understood every word and I was speaking Japanese. Oh wow that was like really cool.:)

Hell yeah!
 

I didn't really dream it, but i was in my room watching a marathon of anime in Japanese and my mother was talking to me in the basement. Now all the room have connecting air vents so you can hear who's ever in the basement through the vents. Well long story short, my mother sounded like she was speaking Japanese and I could understand what she was saying but i couldn't find the right words to answer her. It was very strange and I decided to end my marathon early because of it...... :whiteflag:

In Japan, I dreamt in Japanese.

Also in Japan, all the people who spoke English (fellow Americans), started to sound like they were speaking Japanese. I would have to be like "wait, what did you say?" ...

And the funny thing is, my host sister was hearing English from everyone who spoke Japanese! Pretty strange.... It was like some sort of auditory hallucination :eek:

Culture shock can play games on the mind, I suppose.





Anyone have any similar experience? Because this happens!

I dreamt in Korean a while back - and I actually spoke it in the dream. It was pretty dope. XD

I've had weird dreams where I go around the world and hear some people talk, but waking interpretation was I didn't understand what they said or maybe I understood with body language. Who knows. Dreams...!

i remember this happened to me ONE time, it was so weird. cuz i thought i was weird dreaming like that, but guess i wasn't weird after all xD
i dreamt that my mom was speaking french one day, i was so impressed since she doesn't know french in real life (besides a few words) and i'm there listening to her and understanding it :eek:
but too bad that i don't know how to speak french back to her, besides understanding it...
it was actually a cool dream though ~ haha

once I dreamed in english, and I understand , but usually I dream in my language.

I think just once I did. I can't remember properly.

Even weirder was dreaming, I was singing a song I'd never writen or never heard. I'd wrote a song in my dream. It was a good one, too, and has a decent melody. I still sing it.

In your dream were you crying about getting your punk ass thrown out of a hot springs resort because of your stupid tattooes then blaming the world for your own bad decisions?

What? If your talking to me, then no. I don't even have "tattooes."

i just had my second Japanese dream last night.
And this time I actually understood everything, and it was real Japanese. :)

the first time it was all gibberish lol

You can't dream in a language you never heard of.

On the subject
 

Most of the words in my dreams are like, "run!" and "there!" I do regularly dream in different languages. English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, but again mostly one word sentences.

I've had a few dreams where I could fluently speak Japanese, although I only know the basics. It was pretty interesting. 90% of the music I listen to is Japanese and a good majority of the movies and shows I watch are Japanese as well, so I don't think it's weird that it gets in my dreams.

I agree with what you're saying. The things in our dreams probably wouldn't translate correctly. Haha. It'd probably be really amusing.

I have dreamed in 'Japanese' many times, but like you I only know some greetings and things in Japanese, so it wasn't really true Japanese, but it was deffiantly not english either. It was awesome and left me disapointed when I woke up. :crykitty:

i have dram in hindi (india):confused: and i understand every world and i often dream in cantonese....:D
