I'm not completely bilingual, but I know that's it's a sign of fluency in a language to dream in it.
I've had dreams in both French and Japanese, and I am fluent in neither.

I was born in a Hispanic country, and i went to live in the US for a year...
after about 3 months of being there, i started dreaming in English and some other parts in Spanish..it's weird, but it's natural when you suddenly start using that other language only...
and u know in those dreams, wow my English was great so fluent hahaha...which was a little far from reality, cos i was good to listen but not to express myself.

My mother tongue is Hindi. I learnt english as a full fledged subject during the first 11 years of school and then in college. Later I learnt spanish (five years) and adopted the job of spanish translator-***-interpreter.
I generally dream in my mother tongue i.e. Hindi.
Sometimes, when I have been among the spanish speaking people and later if I dream of them, then I find myself talking to them in spanish. Interestingly, if I speak incorrect spanish, I also try to correct myself in my dreams.

Well, I'm not bilingual but I spent some time in England. After a while I began to lose my TX accent and gain a weirdly BriTx accent. I soon began to dream in a British accent too. It took a couple of months for it to go away after returning to TX. Good Question!

I am Japanese living in the Philippines.
Actually, I dream in any of these languages: Japanese, Filipino, and English.
I am no multilingual but I have been speaking English for more than 30 years, and as for Tagalog, or Filipino, it is only within 10 years, but I speak Tagalog in daily conversation here.
Even when I am alone in a room, I often say something in Tagalog to myself, actually unconsciously.
When I have to say something more complex, I start to use English. So, it is still the same even in dreams. Funny to say, I rarely use Japanese, my mother tongue, even in dreams....

We all dream in the language we use most in day to day life. I speak 6 languages but I always always dream in English, the language that I use most.

both...once I had a dream that I was being attacked by a clown in the middle of the streets of Mexico. There were several men sitting on the corner watching. I yelled "ayudame!" (which in hindsite should have been "socorro!") but no one helped me. Sad huh! But most of the time my dreams are in English...it just depends.

It is funny but I am learning German and have studied in the past and on occasion I have a dream where I recognize the words as German, but don't understand all of it. I think that happens once you go to a native speaking country
