I had a dream in which I tried to speak in Russian

Over the past couple of weeks I have not been able to get as much input time as I would like. Probably only 15 - 30 minutes a day. Ideally I would be exposing myself to several hours a day, but that opportunity depends on what kind of work I'm doing. Perhaps I should look into loading podcasts onto my phone or a separate MP3 player.

The good news however is that I had my first dream in which I tried to speak Russian. In my dream I was walking down the street when I saw a little boy, who turned out to be blind, in an orange monk cloak playing with a puppy. 

Now I have no idea why that scenario presented itself to me. I guess dreams are just weird like that. But the great thing was that he spoke Russian and that I tried to speak with him. 

I need to point out that in my dream I was trying to speak Russian with the limited vocabulary that I currently posses. I didn't dream that I was suddenly fluent. All I could do was say certain words that seemed relevant. Child / ребенок, young+dog / молодой собака (The grammar is probably wrong and I don't know the word for puppy), look / смотрю (I wanted to confirm he was blind).

I'm not sure whether the boy was speaking back to me in fluent Russian. I don't have a clear memory of that and I wouldn't know if he was speaking real Russian anyway!

I think it's fascinating that I was in this dream situation where I was trying to communicate and that my ability reflected what I can do in the real world. Several times I was struggling to remember a word only for it to pop into my mind later in the interaction. Just the way it would happen in real life.

I'm sure this is an important milestone and has provided me with a boost of motivation. I wonder how often this happens in my dreams considering we don't remember most of them?
