A couple of days back, I had a very strange dream that was very nostalgic and pleasant with an overarching fear of going back to the present.
In the dream I was back in my birthplace, Hong Kong in the past, with my grandmother who lived in Shenzhen at the time.
I was a child and my grandmother spoke fluent Shanghainese to me, whilst I was replying in fluent Cantonese. But when I woke up I remembered that I can't fluently speak either of those languages... I can understand about 80% of Shanghainese and about 10-20% of Cantonese.
The conclusion I came to was that I was probably, in my dream, making random noises that sounded like those languages: "wuu zii ghuyuen ngyuuu ckhuu" "bin guk tsing tong yuk gak gai laa" XD
But the point is, I have heard of people subconsciously knowing a language and having it come out during dreams. XD The subconscious is a strange place indeed.
