RE: Do polyglots dream of multilingual conversations?
I speak three languages and write in two. So it's often confusing in dreams. My husband starts talking Russian, or my mom suddenly speaks English... it's really weird. Or I remember reading a text in English but the words being Hebrew.
Also, am a polyamorous polyglot and I love the way that sounds!!!
I assume that these are not situations that occur in real life (i.e. husband starts talking Russian or mother suddenly speaks English)? Maybe you might read some text in English but think in Hebrew sometimes? I am curios about this and I think we need to talk to some psychologists and linguists about this and explore the idea further...
I think 'polyamorous polyglot' should be on your profile description :D
I think the main issue with language in dreams is the barrier between language and experience. Dreams are about experience, so spoken language has a very odd role in dreams. I would really like to hear others' experience here in the comments...
I agree!
