Hi, it is hard to tell what the language of origin was but if the language of origin was Swedish then while the English is completely fine, IMO "I had a strange/weird dream" would sound better.

For sentences after the Tanaka Corpus import, you can tell which is the older sentence by its sentence number.

In this case, Japanese was the first.

You can also see the logs on the right side of the page and see that the Swedish is a translation of the English. This means if you think the Swedish is a bad translation of the English, you should leave a comment on the Swedish sentence suggesting a better translation.
