Xenoglossy / are your PL memories in English or the original language?

I don't really remember things in any language per se, but I can still sort of access the "old languages" when I am very, very relaxed. I dreamed up a lengthy conversation in Yiddish one time while getting reiki, and another time I had a small conversation (in real life, not just in my head) in Hebrew, which left everyone around shocked, as no one thought I knew any Hebrew -- myself included! I was pressured after this to continue speaking, but once I became aware of what I was doing, I lost the ability. It really blew me away, though -- this was ages before I remembered my last life. It seemed like a magical spell had been cast over me! I was quite fascinated by the phenomenon for a while, and read up on bizarre neurological cases where brain damaged patients lost or gained language skills or accents. Now I know that my past life parents were Hebrew revivalists and Zionists back in the pre-Israel days, and we spoke Hebrew in our house almost as much as we spoke Yiddish.

I wonder if I got comfortable enough around Yiddish speakers if I'd randomly be able to speak with them, too -- as long as I wasn't paying any attention to what I was saying 😉

What's funny is I've always had a great passion for English in this life. It's my first language now, but I take it much further than that. My whole life I've been obsessively building my vocabulary and trying out various forms of writing -- poetry, fiction, nonfiction, song writing, script writing, you name it. In my last life, I had over 25 years to learn English in London, yet I never really mastered it. I always had an accent and felt clunky about it, and tried to make up for it by inventing a silly jargon I shared with my friends. Deep down, though, my struggles with English left me feeling inadequate -- especially when my parents and sister mastered the language without issue. I feel in this life I am trying to prove myself, but the chip on my shoulder no longer makes any sense! Some strange part of myself still feels like I don't fully know my own language 😅
 
I am somewhat multilingual and so was I in past lives. However, the sense of hearing is not really involved in my memories. I mostly remember with a series of images flashing, a very distinctive heavy and tunnel-like feeling which is almost exclusive of PL memories, and an omniscient mind that knows what the memory is about and provides the information. For example, I see a table, I see a letter, and this instant powerful thought "this is a letter from X saying that he had throat cancer". However, I never actively read the letter in the memory.
 
"Those who are born into the same nationality, say twice consecutively, learn to speak much quicker the second time around. Some infants will think in the language of a past life before the new language is learned. All of this has to do with the use of symbols."
