Hello all I'm conducting an experiment and it would be great if everyone could assist by taking a quick poll. |

I like destruction and reality, and one invariably leads to the other.
'Dreams are real while they last. Can we say more of life?'
'We die to remember what we live to forget'
Though I don't see much text while dreaming, it's pretty normal text. |

I sometimes see text. Sometimes as recognizable letters/numbers, and sometimes as unreadable squiggles/glyphs. I've never done the "read something twice" because I've never noticed text in an LD, only in normal dreams. |

Often actually, and I'll type too, and most of the time it's not distorted. It also typically says the same or something very similar if I re-read it, strangely enough. |

When I read recognizable letters it generally does make sense, at least, I "gather meaning" from it. Probably some of the time it's actual reading, sometimes I'm just filling in the meaning. Just last night I read an ingredients list on a bag of chips that included 2 words and a picture of a curly hot pepper, I recall it as being: "corn", <picture>, "oil". |

The text I see usually makes some sense while I read it, but it usually changes slightly if I turn away and look again. The problem is that I rarely turn away and look again. |

All the time. I can even text people without noticing any words being... weird. |

Selected the 31-70 answer although my 10 day sample showed 8/10 days had some text (presentation, magazines, shampoo, txt on t-shirt, phone, essay, dream journal, food chain) |

I do sometimes. But when I see them, they go all scattered like there are mixed in. |
|
Lucid dreams make your dreams come true!!
Yea I see them quite often and contrary to some others who always seem to see text scrambled in a dream, I can clearly read what it says. |
|
Who can really stop me but myself?
You're only as good as the limits you set upon yourself.
If it is a single word or logo it will look pretty normal but if more than one, it is hard to read. |
|
Text used to be quite difficult to read when I was younger. But as I've gotten older, text and numbers have become clearer. Not quite sure why that is, maybe I've just gotten better at visualizing text in my mind. Now I can read pages of text quite easily in my dreams but I find that I still struggle a little bit with reading numbers or complex equations. |

I heard it in the podcasts before - RareCola said, it is not a problem - it works as a RC partly because you expect it to work, and in the moment you do a RC - you already know, that you are lucid. |

I normally see text perfectly in my dreams, although sometimes it appears all mixed up as it was in a dream last night, I was reading a text message from someone called Freddie, I can't remember the contents of the text, but the text from field was all jumbled up with a mix of lower case letters, and upper case. |
|
I often see text in dreams, and it is pretty normal. I've had a number of dreamviews dreams, including one of my nonlucids where I was posting to a thread saying that there is enough weirdness there that the probability of this being a dream is high, and yet I did not actually become lucid, just no lucidly dreamed of typing something like that. |

At the moment, I can only recall two times that I've seen words/numbers in my dream. Once when I was looking at a calendar and another time is when I was messaging my friend on the computer. The text in both of the dreams looked normal from what I remember. |
|
I often see text, and the words are real, however the sentences or word couplings don't make sense. For example I was reading a periodic table in one of my LD's and the elements were named things like "PirateCityum" "Rachnadabium" "Orange Eagle Man", etc. |
|
Very often. Sometimes I see pages of text that I can read very well. |
|
Most of the time I see text in my dreams very clearly, but as soon as I wake up I forget what I read which makes my ability pretty useless. |
|
Any time I recognize it, it does always appear normal and clear. But a lot of the time its just a few words repeated over and over. However, as this continues I have realized I am able to read a lot more and hold it longer each time it happens |
|
Yes, usually if I am exploring a new territory Ill take a book (there always seems to be one around) and open it to see if my mind has somehow created some genius novel LOL....it always has random words like ball, cat, church, peace, builder etc. |
|
I see numbers every time I dream. But numbers are hugely significant in my life and profession. Numbers are often symbols to me, zip codes, actual time, millage on my car, etc. etc. |
