But your natural instinct is to just think in English, right? Do you think in German when speaking because you need to reply in German? But when thinking on your own, you could pick between the 2 languages if you wanted?

Yes my natural instinct is English. Yes I think in German when speaking German. Yes I could pick between the two.
If you speak only english, you will think in english. If you speak only spanish, you will think in spanish. If you speak spanish and english fluently, say being bilingual from birth, can you think in both languages?
Yes you can. It depends mainly on where you spend most of your time and which language you are using most. If you are in Spain speaking Spanish all the time you will think in Spanish more, whereas in England you will think more in English.
Personally my Spanish isn't good enough for this to happen; I always think in English. I have dreamed in Spanish though which was weird.
