Language and mental states

So the other night as I was going to sleep, I found myself in one of those pre-sleep dreams where you're mildly lucid, but can still pull yourself out of it if you wanted to (I suppose either theta or delta waves would characterize this type of sleep). I found myself on a train, and I was speaking Russian to someone.

The thing that freaked me out is that I was speaking borderline fluent Russian, and as I could feel myself waking up I realized what was going on. As soon as I woke up, I wrote down the short dialogue that I had with the person, and sure enough, it was grammatically correct.

All of the words I used were words that I already knew, so it's not like it was some crazy miracle dream, but the crazy part were that all the declensions and conjugations were correct, the former being something I have a shit-ton of trouble with in my daily life.

Have any of you experienced anything like this? I've found studying languages to be just a fucking grind with progress coming painfully slow at times. It was, in a way, a therapeutic experience to feel what the end result is like if only for a moment.

No, but I've heard of this happening a few times. I hope it'll happen to me soon.

I've been told that I sleeptalk in various languages in the night. Most of the time in languages I know, but occasionally I've been heard to be reciting in Satanic.

Makes some sense. In real life, you're coping with whatever the topic of the conversation is, but in your dream it can proceed through phrases you know.

There has been much suffering in Russia, it is possible that you were possessed by a Russian demon.
