This seems to be a problem in lucid and pre-lucid dreams and has been well documented in some of the research Stephan LaBerge has performed. |

In some dreams I am trying to read a book or see a face but with no results because most of the time the images are not very clear,they are vague.Is there any tip on how to be able to read letters and see faces clearly? |

why do you want to read in your dream? are you trying to perform a reality check or is that just how you want to spend your dreamtime? |

Thanks guys for your replies.Leo Volont I didn't know that about the brain.Thanks for the info and luciddawg in some of my dreams I come across a book or something and open it to read it but I cannot read the letters or a person tells me "read this" and I cannot read it.That 's all.And I have never been able to read in my dreams that 's why I asked for any tip. |

It's strange. The only time text gets blurry for me is when I actually try to read the letters and make sense of it. Often when I read in dreams, I'm not reading the letters, instead I am absorbing the general meaning of the words. It's almost like by passing a cognitive process. |

I have to concentrate to read in a dream, but I can do it. Not well enough to read more than a few lines though. |

i have trouble with that too..... it makes your dreams clearer if you focus on something, like taking a journey to....maybe from the park to your house and back to the park....but sometimes your dreams are about the park *laughs* okay.....it helps to visualize every detail, like trees and the sidewalk and benches... |

One reason you may not be able to read so well is because your just not Creative enough to come up with what you want the book to say on your own. |

I have absolutely no problem reading text or looking at faces clearly, looking at pictures etc. in dreams, non lucid or lucid. I said this in another topic; but I only got one possible explanation (that whether you can read or not depends on the clarity of you thought process). Any other ideas? |

I didnt realize that being able to read in a dream was difficult. I myself seem to have no problem w/ it and they are non-lucid dreams when it does occur for ex: this one dream i had awhile back i was reading a murder/mystery novel (the words were there as clear as could be) I think i must have spent most of this dream just reading this book and towards the end of the story it gave MY name as being the killer in the book. I saw my name printed on the upper right-hand corner of the page in the 1st paragraph of said page. I was actually worried about (in the dream) that people would actually think i was a killer. |

I frequently read things in non-lucid dreams, and not just small lengths of text, but often longer pieces. From what I can tell, the text makes perfect sense for the most part, although it's not unusual for new words to be made up or existing words to be used in nonconventional ways (usually I will understand it as if those words had always been used that way). I've read smaller pieces of text at least once in lucid dreams, but I haven't tried it often enough to know if it operates any differently. |
