#language dreams

Something fascinating is happening to me rn where I'm dreaming in my target languages.

A few weeks ago I had a dream in French... which made some sense because I had just met a French family even though I haven't done any active French acquisition in aggeeessss.

But last night, completely unprompted, I dreamt I met a really cute HOH guy and I waited around to ask him his name.

And while I waited, I started talking to one of his friends and asked if he signed. But he started signing so fast I had to get him to slow down and I tried to tell him that I was still a student. But I think I ended up using the word for "teacher" actually now that I think about it.

And then I chatted with the cute guy and he taught me a new sign which I honestly think was just an opportunity to hold my hand T.T. It was adorable!

But anyway, I woke up soooo impressed with myself.

Yeah, so I killed my streak. I haven’t studied at all in the last few days. I broke my routine. And I mean, fair enough, I had to make a new one with my Data Science course starting up this week.

But I wanted to report that I had another dream where I was trying to speak German. In the dream, I was vaguely in Germany with my sister and parents. And I was teasing them about how they don’t know any German. Only to start communicating simple sentences in German myself on their behalf.

Had this dream last night, thought I’d share.

So I was in a train with my friend Bree (from Brazil) and her brother and we had Something important to do. Can’t remember what but it was very important that Bree wrote a dramatic blog entry about it. As she was typing her brother said something like “[dont forget to say that] it’s two more months”!!!

Bree proceeds to type but she types “mas um meis” which is a very weird misspelling for “one more month” so I get very confused like Yo Bree girl are you okay???? And she looks at me like What??? What is it, so I suggest “mais um mês?” Which she immediately proceeds to explain is wrong. At the time I just go Welp she’s in Brazil and I’m in Japan so she probably is right. Everything shifts.

Now I’m on a stage with two other girls and we are simultaneously interpreting a live show somehow. Except the girl interpreting the lead singer is not really saying anything coherent. She’s clearly just saying random Portuguese words that sound similar to the English ones being said. I don’t even know what to do either cause her interpreting is so loud that I can hardly hear the singer herself.

I wake up laughing.

Oh but it’s not over yet!!! Cause I immediately fall back asleep!!!

Somehow the show is over and I’m chilling with some other translators and having a laugh. They proceed to “remind me” of how old cartoons had terrible dubs and I start having these vivid flashbacks of scenes of Totally Spies and Saint Seiya where characters would say and sing incoherent Portuguese very dramatically.

I wake up laughing again. This time I fail to go back to sleep. It’s 3 am.
