I disagree. In my experience, dreaming is more correlated with attempting to gain mastery than in having achieved mastery (in language and other things).

I think having one's inner thoughts in the new language, without having to mentally translate from another known language is a more relevant gauge of mastery.

Of course, there is also the level of mastery where a thought is more naturally expressed in the newer language, and you have to mentally translate it back to your native tongue...
