Language of your dreams?

Post Reply New Topic

From what I remember, I can usually hear things in dreams. The weirdest technical aspect of my dreams is the concept of time (ie. it's all over the place, even in a very vivid dream that is realistic in many other ways).

On that note, I once had a very weird dream where I was being chased by bad guys and I couldn't wake up, so I kept looking at this clock which was showing what the time was in the outside world (well, it probably wasn't, but I thought it was while I was in the dream), because I was waiting for the time when my mum wakes me up for school so I would be out of the dream. It was weird.

I think in words, and usually in Spanish, so the difference makes sense.
My dreams tend to have very precise 'real world' locations, even if they make no logical sense. For example, I once dreamed I was crossing a very specific street at a very specific corner in Mexico City and I ran into an Eastern European guy who has never been to Mexico and who I met in Britain, and we both reacted as if running into each other there were the most natural thing in the world. I've also dreamt of travelling to borders that don't even exist (the countries involved aren't adjacent). Last night I dreamt I was in Oregon, close to the Canadian border (I know there's no Oregon-Canada border) hiking in the forest and I eventually reached a massive river with beautiful waterfalls. Alternatively, they seem to take place in entirely fictitious worlds (nothing recognisable, even if the setting is realistic), but never anything in between.
I've heard some people dream in black and white, but every dream I've ever had was in colour.

Telepathy aparently.

Normally I have dreams in English, but then sometimes I dream in VB, C++, or SQL and sometimes get stuck in an infinite loop.

My dreams are in the most boring language of all: english.

And contain some of the most boring creatures of all: humans. Although there are usually animals in them but they can't talk.

All of my dreams are in english.

I dream in black & white, sometimes in very pale color.


When I was very young I would dream of strange geometric shapes that I would try to reach for, but they were always too far away.

I've had lots of words in my head in these last few days but by the time they get to my fingers I'm not sure of them anymore, I don't know if I'm using them the right way, or if they mean what I think they mean. So I've been thinking I could make an idiocyncratic language, which would be just using key words and lots of smileys. But then I think that even if that language was utterly clear and to the point, if noone understood it but me, it would still be pointless. So I'm still better off stumbling along with full sentences and standard expressions, and all the potential for misunderstandings and confusion that they bring with them, because there is also the potential for someone to understand.

That's what I've been thinking. It's nothing to do with dreams, but it's a language of my dreams, so it still fits here.

My dreams aren't devoid of sound, sometimes I talk to people or read something (I heard you can't read in your dreams but I'm leaning towards the theory it's far from the truth, at least for me) and then the words I can hear or read are in my native tongue. I dream in color, not in black and white as I read, many people do.

My dreams are ALWAYS in color. There is always a yellow jaguar protecting me in my dreams. He can talk to me telapathicaly and lets me hug him and touch him.
