Thread: Seeing Writing And Numbers

The idea of the reality check is to look at some numbers or words, look away for a few seconds and then look at the word (or number) again. Most people say that it usually changes.
I believe it has something to do with the vividness of your dreams. So it's totaly possible for the numbers not to change.

hehe, i'm gonna get a little theoretical here so stick with me =D

Do you actually ever see anything in a dream? Or do you simply know what you are seeing?

Do you hear people talk in your dreams or do you simply understand what they are trying to say?

We only see or hear what our mind makes up =P

That's very cool if you can read clearly in your dreams. I'd be very curious to know what kinds of things you end up reading in your dreams - are they simple road signs and such, or are there letters and books and magazine articles and computer screens and such?

Yeah with me when I realise I'm dreaming and I want to check, I either directly try to fly when I'm feeling bold, or I just check my watch and then check it a few seconds later and the time should be completely different, or a couple of times the numbers went weird

The numbers never look odd for me, I just have to look at them, look away, then look back and they'll be different. Like the time I had a false awakening, my alarm clock said 4, then 6, then 7.

Yep thats the same thing I think the only time numbers or writing changes is only if I do that specific reality check.

This morning I had a dream I was at a thrift store and I was looking at an old air hockey table and the price tag said either $1.99 or $2.99.

It's not like that only in your dreams. I mean how do you know that the way you see green, is the way other people see it. Maby they see green as orange,... the truth is you will never know, the same is with sound. You don't see with your eyes, or hear with your ears. It's all made up by your brain, interpreted would be a better word.
