Talk:Dream speech

Poor Article Setup
Hi, anonymous IP address here to make a big stink about this article's resemblance to a general summary of literature and... not an encyclopaedia entry. What's up with those ellipses, right? 66.102.80.246 (talk) 01:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC) sup niggers

who's that guy 66.102.80.246 expressing himself so eloquently? I know the outsider. His nickname is Mr. Ellips: the one left out. __Lehmlehm (talk) 09:27, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

This article struck me as being completely unhelpful. At no point does it mention what dream speech actually is, and most of the information currently on the page seems unnecessary. Rewrite? 130.49.6.124 (talk) 00:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree, I skimmed through it and still didn't know what it was. Somebody needs to go and clean it up. 90.178.52.11 (talk) 14:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Poorly written. It is not the most horrible of horrible articles... simply poor. It would be good to see it re-written. Examples of Dream Speech would help very much. Gingermint (talk) 04:49, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

"bilingual rosetta stone"
just removed the word bilingual from before rosetta stone as it was in fact written in more then two languages —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.201.65 (talk) 15:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

misc.
The last external ref, Dreaming in Foreign Languages, has a defective link. Sussmanbern (talk) 04:35, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

¶ With reference to that topic, my own experience is that, while I was studying a foreign language, I would encounter than language - more or less - in my dreams at about the point that I was actually accomplishing something in learning how to communicate with it. ¶ I would also think that this, or a related, topic might be the means of communication in the dreams of deaf people - that is people who have no memory of hearing;  do the characters communicate in telepathy, or in some form of sound, or do they use (for example) a range of manual languages or only the dreamer's preferred form of Sign Language?

Sorry, what?
So even after reading this article, can someone please explain to me what the hell dream speech is?

I think the author of this article is writing in dream speeches himself. Nothing here appears coherent, concise or even relevant I think. (Assuming if of course, that's what dream speech is. Considering we still yet to have a clue.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.5.16 (talk) 03:36, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Recent Revisions
Psychlang, I cannot help but notice you have removed the footnotes tag and a source from the article. I was wondering why you removed the tag, considering this article is desperately in need of in-text citations. I was also wondering why you removed the source quoted below:


 * D’Agostino, A., Limosani, I., and Scarone, S. (2012). The dreaming brain/mind: a role in understanding complex mental disorders? Front. Psychiatry 3:3. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2012.00003

Best Regards

this article could use a rewrite from someone who knows what its even supposed to be about
i'm not getting it at all. it fails from the first line. "Dream speech (in German Traumsprache) is internal speech in which errors occur during a dream". what the heck is that supposed to mean? 68.113.47.73 (talk) 00:50, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Still makes no sense.
Seven years after the last complaint, I still have no idea what this article is talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.127.218.216 (talk) 21:58, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Nominated for Deletion
This page is nonsense. There have been complaints going back years about it. It quite obviously meets the criteria of CSD-G1.TheAwesomeAtom (talk) 06:20, 17 October 2020 (UTC) I take that back, it does deserve deletion, it does not meet the requirements for speedy deletion. However, this article is mostly nonsensical, and thus should be deleted. If anyone disagrees, please tell me your reasoning. TheAwesomeAtom (talk) 22:22, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Interwiki links
Moving these inappropriate-seeming non-English see also links to the talk page:


 * Spanish wikipedia site on dream speech with a discussion of the schizophrenia of John Forbes Nash, known by the book and the film A Beautiful Mind.
 * French wikipedia site on dream speech with a discussion of the schizophrenia of Elyn Saks.
 * Dutch wikipedia site on Emil Kraepelin with a discussion of his schizophrenia-cryptogram (dream speech, May 1908).

The proper way to handle these would be templates like Expand Spanish at the top of the article, but I'm not sure whether this entirely applies. Belbury (talk) 10:46, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
