That's easy. Conveying thoughts requires a medium, a language, and some applications of language are more suitable to certain ideas. I speak three languages daily, and I recognize several others; it would be a sacrifice of focussed cognition were I to try limit my discourse to a single idiom. This selection for the "best path" goes on even at the unconscious level. My dreams occur in whichever language is best suited to their realization. People whom I know, even if they do not speak the language of a current dream, express themselves clearly in the contextual matrix of the language applied in that dream. Curious, isn't it?
