Yes, all the time, often mixing up French, English and German. The funny thing is, that in those dreams people I know speak in the foreign language, when in real life they can't speak a word of it!
I have also noticed that my Russian is MUCH better when I dream in it than it is when I have to speak it...weird.

My native is Spanish. I dream mostly in Spanish (understandable, as I live in a Spanish speaking country). But I also dream in English.
When I was learning Russian, our teacher has us under constant preassure. And despite the fact of not being fluent in the language, I did dream in Russian. It hasn't happened recently thought.

Its very normal to dream in a second language after large doses of exposure. Its sort of a sign that your immersing yourself in the language. I still remember the first time I dreamed in other languages. It was sort of a shock, but exciting too. Think of it as a sign that your brain is starting to soak up and remember everything you've heard.

i do no longer talk French yet i be attentive to that "semantic density" (or consistent with probability it would be talked approximately as "linguistic density"? I dunno) of English is unquestionably bigger than that of Russian and German. once I had to do some localization-appropriate stuff at paintings and that i do no longer forget that English words have been constantly shorter than Russian, and German words have been longer than Russian. i think of French is likewise much less dense than English. This result, coupled with the actuality that that the language is non-community, can supply your 2x effect easily. 3 years of journey isn't that plenty. Btw, I additionally suspect you're a tremendously rapid reader in French in comparison on your frequently used compatriot, and this grew to become into probable won by using analyzing plenty greater advantageous than frequently used, it particularly is extremely confusing to attain with non-community language in adulthood. I examine tremendously rapid in Russian, yet it particularly is basically because of the fact i grew to become into analyzing because of the fact that i grew to become into 3, and that i examine a good number of books.
