I ask because it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t but I regularly have dreams where I continue books I’m reading irl (they usually devolve into naritive nonsense over time and then sometimes to blank pages, but the actual text is definitely deciferable), text messages, computer screens, and road signs, in both lucid and regular dreams. Am I the odd man out or is it actually just something people say?
Yes, I can read in my dreams. Though apparently I have lucid dreams as a default.
Do you enjoy yourself or do you do creative work in your dream home?
I explore, sometimes. Caves, castles, libraries, floating airchipelagos.
Recently I built several large buildings as part of a months-long project, but I didn’t really enjoy it.
I often just talk with people, or sometimes I find myself at work, doing work stuff (I enjoy my job).
