I can not read even a street sign.

I can read in dreams, both lucid and non lucid, however if I reread it again it changes. Also while I would agree with you, Sivason, that most non lucids are like watching a movie, but some non lucids are not. An example of it is the nightmare I had the other day, where I reality checked because stuff was happening that should not be happening. But the reality check failed. So I concluded I was not dreaming, ergo it was a non lucid. However, it was a non lucid during which my awareness was very close to lucidity, and I was actually there - not the usual noone is home dream memory in past tense - this one i actually very much experienced in the present moment. I would even say my logic was pretty good: people and things disappeared into thin air, neighborhood changed as I kept walking, but the reality check failed, therefore using pretty good logic, I decided that I must be going completely crazy. Now I would say that this was good logic, even if it was a false conclusion, because if I had not been dreaming and those things were happening, my going completely crazy would have been a logical explanation. Now mind you I kept RCing, but my RC kept failing, and I got into such a state of panic, it was one of my worst nightmares. but my logic and awareness were pretty high for a non lucid.
