Hello,
first of all excuse my poor English, I hardly ever use it, so I'm sure there will be plenty of mistakes.

I will be retiring next month and I will be having plenty of spare time and I thought I might take up a hobby or two to just kill the time.

When I was young, in my teens and twenties, almost every night I had the same dream. I heard the voice of my younger sister, she was saying something like, 'Kyootansurukokorogaarimasuka.' I heard the voice clearly, it was very pleasant, but I didn't understand a thing, it was in some funny language, if it was a human language at all.
The dream kept recurring for some years and then it stopped. It reappeared a few months ago, but this time, she says, 'Ironnajibunninarutoomosiroikara'. It sounds as if it is the same language, but I still don't understand a thing. In the dream, I'm always trying to ask her what she means, but she only smiles and whispers softly, 'Mezameyo, mezameyo', and I wake up without knowing.

My question is:
Is it a human language?
If it is, I'd like to learn it.

So you have spare time? It seems to me you should explore your interest in dreams. I
don't think AT ALL that was a real language. And if it was, your case should be studied
by the worldwide community of scientists.

I suggest you to stop focusing on that particular language and read and make research
about the language of dreams. That will help you understand (or at least, interpret) what
your sister was "saying to you". If it seems now so important to you, it must be for a
certain reason, that's what a freudian or jungian analyst might think. It's not your
sister talking to you, it's just your subconscious.

Looks slightly like a Native American language. Maybe you could learn one of those. Of
course it won't be the same as the language in your dream though, unless you lived a past
life in an Indian tribe!

Navajo is the first language to spring to mind. It has the ungodly long words and the
double "oo" like in your examples.

For the record, I checked wiktionary for anything resembling the words/phrases you posted
and got no matches at all.

This sounds like a joke to me, but the language is Japanese.

It is without any doubt based on Japanese, but does it mean something?

Yes and no.

Kyootansurukokorogaarimasuka - 驚嘆する心がありますか - Do you have a heart that marvels?

Ironnajibunninarutoomosiroikara - いろんな自分になると面白いから - Because it'll be interesting when your selves become many.

Mezameyo, mezameyo - 目覚めよ、目覚めよ - Wake up, wake up!
