Ena, mami kroki ro (well, my two cents): I dream in color, therefore I must be creative ;-) Have dreamt in Spanish once or twice, but not in any conlang. I'll have to try Chollie's trick (reading a text 3 times just before bed). A week or so (before this thread appeared, mind you) I had a dream involving my sister, an aunt (d. 1977), self, and !! Boudewijn Rempt !! We were playing Scrabble in the basement of my former home in Ann Arbor. (IRL not a place where one would have wanted to spend a lot of time, but in the dream it was fixed up quite nicely). Needless to say, I've never met Mr. Rempt and have only seen his picture at his website...In any case the dream BR was my age, stocky and blond-- I think I'd seen a similar Dutch doctor type on TV, perhaps in a discussion of drugs at the Olympics..........?? The period before sleep is when my fantasy life really takes off. (Often sexual--- calling Dr. Freud!!). Interestingly, I can remember fantasies of all sorts dating back to age 7-8 or so.
