I'm not usually one to remember my dreams, but I think I've had two dreams in Spanish, I don't remember what they were about, but I remember waking up. Other times the first thought in my head when I wake up is in Spanish, so I often wonder if that means I had just been dreaming in Spanish as well. Once a few years ago my dad came to wake me for school and I mumbled "Don't touch me," in Spanish while still half asleep. I didn't even realize it until he asked me to repeat what I'd said.

I don't ever recall dreaming in Portuguese--well, not exactly. I have had several dreams about going to Brazil where people around me are speaking Portuguese, but my internal thoughts and the whole frame of reference of the dream is in English.

Once, several years ago, I visited my aunt in Germany and while in Europe I also went to Amsterdam and visited the Anne Frank House. A few months later when back in the States, I had a dream about Anne Frank and the others hiding in the attic. It was almost like watching a play. Like I was there, but I had no role in the dream itself. Nothing special was happening; they were just going about their daily business. The entire dream was in what I thought at the time was German, but from what I remember now (and historical fact, I guess) the language they were speaking more closely resembled Dutch. I really hadn't heard either spoken at the time beyond just a few words, and now that I am more familiar with languages I think what I was "hearing" was Dutch. Sounds crazy, I know. Make of it what you will; believe it or don't, but the dream happened.

Edited to make it more clear that I speak nothing of either German or Dutch myself.

I usually have dreams in either Finnish, English or Italian, which are my strongest languages. It has happened to me several times that when I wake up after a dream in English or Italian somebody says something to me in Finnish or some other language and I am unable to catch the meaning of the sentence. My reply is usually in Italian: "Come?"

I have dreamt once in German years ago, but apart from that, I think I've only dreamt
in Norwegian. Although I've been in England for two months, I can't remember ever
dreaming in English...

I had some dreams in other languages... The last one being a friend of mine saying a
sentence wich was a mixture of Italian and German. :)
I also have dreamt in GuaranĂ­ once and in other dream, many years ago, I dreamt I was
singing a Westlife song in a clip-like dream :b... And I was not a huge fan of them.
Weird.

I do from time to time based, I think on two factors. The first is, how much intensive study I had been doing before bedtime. And the second (and this is not meant to be funny) is when I have been sick with a fever.
