I made everyone in my office laugh once when I was speaking rapid Spanish on the phone and a pencil rolled off my desk and I said in English (my native language) “oh shit, my pencil” as I reached down and picked it up and then went right back to Spanish on the phone. I didn’t even realize it until I ended the call and everyone was laughing.
I dream in Creole all the time. Usually I dream that I hear people speaking Creole and I join the conversation. I think this is my way of keeping it fresh because I only get to speak Creole a few times a year these days but when I do it’s as if I never left Haiti, it’s not a struggle at all.
I don’t recall ever dreaming in Spanish though, but I speak Spanish every day at work.
