She had only just began studying it and was not close to fluent before this. Article There are like a million possible explanations but it encouraged me to actually try sleeping with the french news on going as i sleep to encourage french dreams. I know that external stimulus affects dreams to at least some degree sometimes (listening to boards of canada trying to sleep and being underwater in the dream). Am I an idiot??

I suppose I would need to run more trials to really see how much I absorbed, but it really does interfere with sleep if it's audible and clear. I would have been a wreck by the 4th day.

That's pretty insane if that's true. There would be some interesting implications as well. I doubt people in comas have much exposure biblical languages that they could subconsciously internalize so would the knowledge already have to be in them? I don't really see how thats possible... I'm confused now.
