I'm not sure how I managed to forget this in my recent posts, but a very important milestone of my exchange occurred last week. I believe it was the night of January 1 that I had my first Spanish dream! I hardly realized it until the morning of January 2nd as I was thinking to myself: "Hmm I actually dreamed last night. I hardly ever dream! Now what was it that happened? I remember that I was sitting in -- OH MY GOODNESS WE WERE TALKING IN SPANISH!! Okay Spanish and English, but still. . ."
If I remember right, I was talking with my English neighbor friends about popular music. I remember it was strange because they were talking in Spanish, even though they're from England and don't know any Spanish! We also spoke some random English, so I guess you could say that it was a Spanglish dream. People say that once you start dreaming in your host language, you know that you're fully submerged in the language and you're close to being fluent. I think I still have quite a ways to being fluent, but I'm still very pleased with my dream.
Dulces Sueños!
