Do We Dream in Our Mother Tongue?

Traditionally, the language we dream in was seen as a key indicator of our mother tongue. But for many multilingual individuals, dreams shift between languages—shaped by emotions, experiences, and the people in them.
This raises an interesting question: Does our “true” mother tongue evolve over time? If we express deep emotions in one language but think through complex problems in another, can we still define just one as our native language?
With globalization, intercultural relationships, and constant travel, linguistic identities are more fluid than ever. What about you—have you ever found yourself dreaming in a language different from the one you grew up with?
