Ralph Z asked in Social SciencePsychology · 1 decade ago

Has anyone experienced talking a foreign language in their sleep?

I thought at first that I was dreaming this but asked my wife if

she had ever heard me speaking in a foreign language in my sleep and the answer was YES many times.

I awake and hear myself saying words I never heard before

and I spoke some Italian as a child but that is not the language I am speaking. This is a strange thing and I am not into any kind of religion and not babling in tounge and do not believe

in any Gods. Anyone experience this happening or can anyone explain?

    I woke up speaking German one time. That was years before I learned one lick of German.

    The reason I know was because my room mates grandmother spoke German to them whenever they would visit her when they were younger.

    I don't know if I speak a foreign language in my sleep, but I dreamed some voice coming from the sky was speaking a language that sounded like hebrew, or a language that sounds similar to hebrew.

    well, since you said you aren't familiar with another foreign language, I would say maybe you are reliving a past life. Have you double checked that the words you were saying in your dream are indeed words and in Italian? You're lucky that your wife remembers what you say in your dreams. No one in my family can ever remember what I talk about in my dreams.

    I'm sure dreamreader has an answer for you. Hang tight and she'll get back to you!

    Yeah i had this happen before. Im Thai and i can speak Thai,and english. but when i was dreaming. I was speaking a tribal language, it was pretty cool but very strange. It probally has to set back in history through genetics or something.

    i have not actualy had this happen to me,but my younger brother has. we taped him one night, and we larned it was actualy latin. we translated it, but it was only a pointless stream of words. no one in or family can speak latin, and since my brother is ten, i doubt he was taught it. some things are just unexplainabul.

    Yes. I've also had dreams in languages, and I don't know what language they are.
