I would expect that it does.

?tlhIngan Hol vIjatlh 'e' vInaj.?
= "I speak Klingon. I dream about [the previous sentence]."
~ "I dream about me speaking Klingon."

Note that ?naj? probably refers to imagining things while sleeping (hence 
?najmoHwI'? = "lullaby"), rather than the sort of dreaming that Martin Luther 
King jr. is famous for.</tt></pre><pre style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;">&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
