I rarely sign in dreams. Most of my dreams are mostly actions and there's very little talking but once in a while words will be spoken.. Most people in my dreams understand each other without speaking in my dreams.

Sometimes I feel that dreams are a signs or a warning something that might happens,, some it come true to me. :-) A dream feel like a time travel.

What actually takes place in a dream rarely makes sense when we wake. I didnt realise we had a resident dream analysts amongst us.

I always sign in ASL during my dreaming. Even my hearing supervisor and colleagues also sign. It is interesting because my primary language is ASL. Therefore; in my dream makes sure that I understand whole of their conversation.

I wish, they can sign. Dang ! My dream always color and pleasant....

However, I had twice nightmare, surgery on my head to get cochlear implants then I perfectly speak and heard. I woke up, thanks god did not have CI on my skull. It was awful experience in my dream.

Blessing, I am Deaf and using beautiful ASL.

In fact, he believed, every dream is partially motivated by a childhood wish. Another interesting idea was that nothing is made up during a dream and that they are biologically determined, derived completely from instinctual needs and personal experiences. So his theories are pretty interesting...

this has nothing to do with deafness, but i just wanted to say that I am really glad you posted this about Freud. I just finished my first year at an art college and tried to create a manifesto of my artistic "beliefs", the reason/motivation behind my style which has a lot to do with childhood and dreams. I'm going to read up on Freud now haha thanks =)

Ever sign in your dreams and wake up suddenly to see yourself still signing?

DragonYoga · 04-22-2008, 12:54 PM

Vampyrox, nope - but I've been told that I sign in my sleep.

My mother has seen me do this many times.

Ah... heh!

I've only caught myself once or twice.

I do have a few friends who do it often depending on their dreams.

I heard about a deaf student at NTID who fell asleep on the couch in the TV lounge. Other students caught him sitting there signing with his eyes closed. When they woke him up, he was like... "Huh? I wasn't signing!"

I always use ASL/sign in my dreams and 98% of the times, any other people in my dreams uses ASL/sign. I inly recall one time very recently that a man in my dream used voice, of course I couldn't understand him, but he knew sign, I yelled at him, "YOU Stop talking! I put up with you for years! I'm fed up! Enough!" Whoa! haha. I even have characters from tv shows or movies signing as I would sometimes be a character from the shows. Weird!

I don't 'talk' in my sleep, but caught myself smiling a lot of the times lol. Anybody else smiles in their sleep and caught themselves? heh

wow interesting question, Holly. and also interesting answers from you guys - doing ASL in sleep is actually funny. I've actually never thought about this. To answer your question, I talk/listen in dream like hearing person. I've talked in sleep many times and my mom & friends told me about it
