Heard people say this but I never ever paid much this thing a bit of attention. Apparently, dreaming in your fav language means something is clicking in your brain, right? Has any of you experienced this ever? Did it line up with actual progress or just your brain being weird?..
Yes, I’ve actually had that experience!
When I was still a student, there was a summer which I spent every single day watching American TV series—at least six hours a day 
Then I experienced what you said - dream entirely in foreign language!
I didn’t remember the specific details of the dreams when I woke up, but I clearly recalled that they were in English. I was pleasantly surprised, thinking, “Aha! My English must be perfect now” — But you know, the dream was over.
But I feel this confirms that completely immersing oneself in a foreign language environment for a long period will indeed have some benefits for language learning.
P.S. That TV series I watched ultimately helped me passed my TOEIC test.

Amazing! I even enjoyed reading your experience. I too often use English in chatting online but I go with a different approach. I use text symbol like backwards emoticons in my messages that are not that common and this truly helps me look cool. 
Not yet, but it would be cool. Potentially, this is a new language learning method
I’ve dreamed in a total of 3 languages that I can recall and each time has been a very vigorous experience to say the least. Splurting out ‘‘Yer duncical pecksniffer’’ is quite rare in my day-to-day speech but it seems like the frequency of me saying nonsensical aphorisms like that shoots up in a somnolent state. 
That would be cool .The only experience I have is sometime if I do a lot of grammer I might dream of "and the three meaning of sikker are ?"and " Sikker has 3 forms what are ?"So I guess that is a start.
Shows the process is working haha
When I used to immerse myself in German for eight hours straight every night, I started dreaming in German. What’s interesting is that many of those dreams involved situations I had never actually experienced while living in Germany.
For example, in one dream I was standing on a sidewalk when a German police officer was dragging a drunk man toward a police car. The man was screaming, “Hilf mir! Hilf mir!” (“Help me! Help me!”). As they passed by, I instinctively waved my right hand and said in German, “Sei vorsichtig, bitte.” (“Please be careful.”) Then I woke up.
