This is proberly a really simple question but i had a discussion with a friend and we were wondering if people who have learnt a second language dream in there first or second eg if my first lanuage is french but i also can speak english would i dream in french or english?. My friend thinks proberly your first language i reckon possibly both tho.Anyone know? does anyone speak several lanuages?if so what do you dream in?

I lived in Italy for nearly ten years, and when I had conversations in my dreams, they were mainly in Italian.  But I remember a sense of "italian-ness" in my dreams, maybe because I was there for so  long.  I also used to sleep talk in Italian.

I dream in French and English. I'm also known to talk in my sleep - my husband has told me if I say sthg in English and he asks me to repeat I'll translate into French!

I grew up in Britain, have lived over 20 years in Germany and dream in both languages. I also took an intensive Turkish course a few years ago and had dreams in Turkish for a short while after that.

I know two languages and they both come up in my dreams.

I am brazilian and live in England for 7 years. I am also a fluent spanish speaker. I dream in both english and portuguese, but mostly in english now. When I go to visit my family I usually dream in portuguese. I think it is the language that you are most exposed too. However, it took a while for me to start dreaming in English. When you start dreaming in a second language it usually means that you are fluent in it.
