Advisor and Alexandra
I want to know what language you dream in. Many people I've spoken with dream in their native tongue. Is that the case with you or do you dream in another language.

Answer 1

I think that would depend a lot on the age of the person and what kind of social life they have in the new country. Though most people dreams spur from past events in their lives ie: emotional people they have grown with. People that were introduced into a forgien land when they were very young, and grew up there most likely would dream in what ever dialect they spoke the most. Older people would probably dream in their native tongue.

Answer 2

English
