They say that when you dream of another language that you are learning is because you have already assimilated it, but the truth is that it is possible to dream in English or in any other language even if you have no knowledge of that language. How is this possible to happen? Well, we have to go once again to the magic of the dream world. However, apart from magic these dreams in English also have their meaning and that is what we are going to reveal in our Dream Dictionary.
Dreams in English are frequent when you are learning the language, when you are doing a course or even when you have made a series of series in English. There are many variants of this type of dreams and their meaning varies if you feel comfortable speaking in English, whether they are understanding you or not, if others also speak English, if you are in a foreign country or if you are speaking in English in your own environment.
As you can see, many aspects of the dream must be taken into account to reach its meaning. But we can advance some of your interpretation. Dreaming in English is interpreted, as you can imagine, in communication. It is a dream that talks about how you communicate with others, but not just linguistic communication. The key is: How do you relate to your environment?
Therefore, dreaming in English can clarify many things about your social life, your self -esteem, your skills or skills, how you manage the resources you have, your ability to adapt, your relationship with the environment, if you feel understood or excluded, if you give you the feeling of being out of place or not, if you feel accepted or not, if you can be yourself, how brave you are, of all you are able to be able to be able to be.
Dreams in English have important messages and it doesn’t matter if in your real life you know the language or not. It should be noted that the most frequent dream is in English because it is the closest language, but you can actually dream in any other language and the meaning would be practically the same. Are we going to a night English class?
Spending the night speaking and listening to English can be exhausting. If you have ever studied English and have had to do some kind of linguistic immersion, you will know how complicated it is to think about a language that is not your mother tongue. Let’s see if in your dream you find it equally complicated as in real life.
+ Dream that you speak English when in real life you do not know the language
It is a most surprising dream because you see yourself talking fluently. Attention because what the dream wants to point out is that you have a series of skills and skills, not necessarily with languages, that you are not using or that you have not yet discovered. Do not miss this touch of attention that will help you discover aspects of yourself that will be very useful.
+ Dream that you speak English in a foreign country
English is the usual language we use when we are in another country. The meaning of this dream will depend on whether you are in another holiday country, if you have settled there to work or if you do not know the reason you are in that other country. But in any case you can take the basis of its interpretation that is your ability to adapt and the need for an important change in your life or in the way you relate to your environment.
+ Dream that you speak English and do not understand you
You are speaking in English perfectly but do not understand you. Maybe because you are in Spain, for example, and you have entered a fruit shop and have started asking for your purchase in English. Obviously they don’t understand you. And the dream speaks of that vital moment that you are going through which you feel misunderstood or out of place. You feel different and that is not negative, what is negative is that because your environment is not accepting you.
+ Dream that you speak English with your family and friends
In your real life you communicate with your family and friends in Spanish. Why are you doing it in English in this dream? Because the time has come to change the way you communicate with your environment, because communication is not working so far, because you want to express more things or otherwise, because you have the need to relate to them more freedom.
+ Dream that they speak to you in English and you don’t understand anything
It can become a nightmare because life around you is working in English and you don’t understand anything. What is happening? Once again you feel out of place, not fit. Moreover, it can be a self -esteem problem because you feel unable to understand others and make you understand. And always remember that in these dreams in English we are not talking only about verbal communication.
