I've always heard that trying to read while in a dream is a good way to realize your dreaming but this did not happen to me. I was reading a book that was similiar to that of House of Leaves(anyone who has seen or read this book will know what im talking about) in which it was very crazy. Every word i read developed into a scene that was extremely real and this was pretty cool until it started to get strange. |

---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
I have a theory about this. |

You can read in dreams, but you can't reread in dreams. Well not everyone can read in every dream, but there are so many things not everyone can do in every dream right. You can't reread in a dream, because you need a part of your brain for it that is not working at that time. When you try to reread in a dream your subconsious has to make the exact phrasing as you just read. It is hard to remember in a dream exactly what you just read. Therefore it is hard to reread in a dream. Short words or sentences are often still possible, but what about a long text. Even in waking life it isn't easy to remember what it exactly was that I wrote as first sentence of this post. But now the text is stable, it won't change because you don't have to remember it. In a dream everything is based on what you remember and think, so there it is important. |

Yeah reading is a hard thing to do in a dream. If you're lucid try to look at a page then try to re-read it, its probably totally different. The reason for this is that the mind is too busy creating the dream world and whats going to happen next in your dream that it isn't powerful enough to create the small details like the letters on a page. Well thats my idea anyway, it sounds smart enough for an answer though |

I think reading in a dream is the equivalent of the Stream of Consciousness technique sometimes used by writers. Below is the Britanica definition |

I have dreamed about reading and sometimes reading aloud. |

last night i had a dream of reading some book. well not exactly reading, but jus the meaning of the words came to me (it was one sick book, which is probably why i can remember it) so i dreamt that i went on wikipedia and typed the words in. and i remember pretty clearly seeing some words (i forgot what they were). but i still am sure that i saw words ther, and i was able to read them. |

I once had a non-lucid dream in which I was trying to read a book. The works kept changing, so it was a struggle to read. It didn't make me lucid though, despite my in-dream knowlage that it should make me lucid. |
