I have had that happen to me in Portuguese several times. My dreaming command of Portuguese is far superior to my waking. My best guess is that it has something to do with memory processing. Even if those memories are very weak, the brain sifts through it all and processes it. Same thing happens to me when trying to learn a really difficult song on guitar. I have extremely vivid dreams were I can see my fingers on the guitar strings playing every note perfectly. Then I wake up and realize my actual ability with the 2 skills sucks in comparison.

Yes, I have had this happen quite a lot in my dreams. I have had German many many times, even when I wasn't studying German, Spanish, and even Latin, I have never studied it at all but I have listened to some music that was in Latin so maybe that had something to do with it. I still can't explain the Latin one at all or why it was Latin, but all I knew was that it was Latin. My German and Spanish ones happen mostly when I am watching films or listing to one of those languages just before I fall asleep but dreaming in these languages doesn't happen often.

One night I had a dream in which I was a Polish underground army's secret agent who was infiltrating the SS during WWII. I remember myself wearing a uniform and speaking German so perfectly that nobody noticed that I'm a non-German... Generally I was happy that this dream didn't come true...

I always thought that when I dreamed that I was speaking a language more fluently than when I was awake, it meant that I was just inhibited about using the language in real life.

Then again, perhaps it doesn't mean anything. People can do all sorts of extraordinary things in their dreams that they cannot do while awake.

Yes, this has also happened to me. I think it has only happened with Spanish so far though. I find this really
interesting that it has happened to so many people! 1 person has voted this message useful | |
