Dreaming in Other Languages.

I will describe my environment.
I am sitting outside on a balcony just after mid night in a place called Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
I am wearing a singlet top and my jammie bottoms it is about 25 degrees.
Looking north west towards the Pacific Ocean and at the Noosa River where the Glasshouse mountains and the land meets and sun sets. It is beautiful.
I have MANY memories here.
I believe you can be drawn to a place geographically. This is one of those places. (i have several of those).

Anyway I was meant to write about this I forgot but ALAS here it is; I lived in Milan, Italy in 2003 and I had no idea of the Italian language I just would learn by catching the bus, shopping , my colleagues and clients and living etc.
Someone said to me when you dream in another language you have REALLY grasped it as it is embedded in the subconscious.
I ended up dreaming in Italian and speaking it.

I realised I have not yet had a dream where I see and hear myself talking like this. Which is SO good.
