Example, I'm Indonesian. My native language is Bahasa Indonesia. My second (or third... whatever) language is English.

I've never had such dream.

I would be glad to see if there are people did otherwise and interested if they can remember the dream.

Can't say I have.. I'm a burly bearded pale Irish-like guy, and once I had a dream that I was a little Italian boy dressed all in white, running through a canal-divided white city.. At the end I peeked through a (glassless) window at a woman brushing her hair, who I assumed was my mother.. Strange stuff :)

I speak four languages, and I've dreamed about speaking in all of them. When I'm awake, I only think in three of them.

Yes, i had, but it was no real language... In fact, i don't even remember the words: They had a meaning, but i can't recall what did they sound like.

I have...well mostly because I have always been interested in learning Latin so I once dreamed about ancient Greek and people kept saying the phrases that I knew.

I had a dream where I was fluent in German (I'm not actually), but I didn't use it or say anything, so I'm not sure if that even counts :p

In dreams you don't speak any "language" per se I believe. Do you clearly remember talking in your native language? I don't. I just know I'm talking but what language? That I can't say. But I'm from Poland and I talk in English more than in Polish so that would be nothing new to me. I even think in English.

Certainly. I grew up bilingually (german + hungarian), so most of my dreams were those languages (sometimes only one, sometimes both in a single dream), nowadays it's almost always english, though. I also had dreams were I spoke italian, spanish and russian. (I don't really speak italian, and even in the dream I only knew a few phrases, but everyone else in the dream seemed to speak it perfectly).
Even though I know french, I never had a dream where I spoke it. Dunno why.

I always dream speaking 2nd language. I am deaf so sign language is my native language. Yet I always dream myself talking english. I think it is the movies I watch that makes me dream that way. I dont know why exactly though.

I think in English mostly, even while my mother tongue is Vietnamese, because it makes the thoughts more neutral. And yes, I do dream in English sometimes.

Rarely but from time to time it happens.

Does thinking count?

I've stopped thinking to myself purely in English. Slowly converting over to Japanese as I'm most exposed to that now. I say most, I'm exposed to 7 different languages constantly at the moment.

I don't think I ever had a dream completelly in english, at most it was mixed. I should also say I don't really speak english, I just write in it. I never had a chance to practice it by speaking with someone.
Edit: I forgot to mention english is my second language, my native one is spanish.
