Thread: Dream Language

I have noticed that in some of my dreams I end up saying or reading or hearing a word(s) that makes absolute sence in the dream, ryming with some things even, but dosn't make sence in RWL.

could it actually be part of a dream language?

I think this may have something to do with the laws and logic we are subject to that govern the waking world. It is similar to dreaming of a new discovery or invention that u know is a major break through only to wake up and realise that it makes absolutely no sense in the waking world?

No, this is not part of a dream language.

Words, phrases, sentences all convey concepts. What your dream experience is pointing out is that when you live in your own “Dream World” – one in which you may rely heavily on fantasy or imagination – you are using concepts which seem to make a lot of sense. However, when these same concepts are dealt with using a greater conscious awareness (as when awake) it becomes obvious that they do not really make that much sense.

It needs to be remembered that dreams come from the subconscious not the conscious mind. This means that a lot of emotion goes into the ideas we have as seen in dreams. The fact that your words often seem to be rhyming also indicates that a more emotional language and concepts conceived emotionally are being used. Rhyming words (as found in poetry) are meant to appeal at an emotional level. Note that scientific works are never written in a rhyming format.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. A lot of the time, it's not so much that I realize they were using the wrong words, but in fact that they used no words at all. The reason is simply that the words don't matter. Almost all speech in my dreams is "implied". It's not so much about what you hear, but rather what you meant to hear.

For another perspective on this, try thinking of something, anything at all, without thinking in words. Think about how it looks and works, also without words. Now you're thinking in concepts. Since your mind is effectively communicating with itself, the words become superfluous. The word portion isn't necessary as the concept can be conveyed directly. That's why you could hear "I need to eat eggs" in your dream and it will be perfectly clear to you that the person wants you to go away.

I think I know what you mean. Sometimes when I'm reading something in a dream, I just get the impresion of what the words mean, rather then actual squigals. Do you mean like that?

I think dream languages are governed by rythmic laws, rather than empirical. I often find myself talking with a musical accent that somehow matches the environment around me. Wouldn't there be more harmony if people talked like that in real life?

Actually some people do, e.i. Italians speak with a sort of mucial accent. That makes it nicer to listen to them. One doesn't feel annoyed or tired even after hours of listening.
