Weird Things Happen In Dreams

Last night I was dreaming and I guess attempting to speak Japanese. I can’t remember the exact context of where I was, but it was cool nonetheless. When I was about to wake up, in that weird period where you are still kind of dreaming but also sort of aware of your consciousness and surroundings, I remember the last thing I had spoken. For whatever reason it felt like I was almost going over my anki cards in my dream. I do not remember what word it was, but I remember it started with あ. I also remember it was the first word of a sentence card in my anki deck. Honestly, maybe I just made this word up entirely and I can’t remember it, or maybe it’s one of the those words I just can’t seem to recall. Just an interesting dream overall and maybe gives a little proof as to how everything we’ve learned we retain in some part of the brain, it’s just a matter of seeing it over and over again while conscious and bringing it to the “front” of our memories and recollection. Since I am still new to Japanese and don’t have an expansive vocabulary, it was still kinda cool to have a dream where I at least attempted to think in Japanese.

Edit: I figured it out. The word was 答え. So, it doesn’t started with あ of course, but the word in English does start with A, since it is Answer. I was looking at my notes and realized that’s what it was, just clicked for some reason lol.
