That's weird. At the weekend I dreamed I was in my kitchen with my aunt and
we were talking in in Carashán. The only snatch of conversation I can
remember though is "Dun' es?" "Êllo sheraico!"- "Where is it?" "In the
cupboard!".

Apart from that I always dream in French (could be why my fluency's
improved...), I can't remember the last time I had a dream in English. Once
I dreamed I was M. Thénardier from Les Miserable singing "le devise du
carbaretier"!
