Hey there,

The thing with dreams to remember is... they're highly variable. What may be true for one person may not be true for another. What may be true for two million people might still not be true for another!

Additionally, what may be true for your dreams 364 days of the year may suddenly not be true on the 365th!

So with that in mind, to your question. Is the inability to read in dreams a myth. If you take it as an absolute, then yes. It IS possible to read very clearly and very consistency in dreams. But... most people, most of the time, will find reading hard. Text will reshape itself, blur out, become strange while you're reading. Additionally, many people report that when they do read, they're not actually reading the words. Their eyes are scanning the pages and the meaning just sort of comes to them directly, without really decoding the letters and the words.

Personally, I believe in general that language plays a very small part in most dreams (again, with the obvious sudden inexplainable expection)... when I communicate with dreamcharacters, "meaning" is transferred on a much more direct basis then through words. Also on a much more clear basis. There's much less chance of lapsus, misinterpretation, or misunderstanding (unless the misunderstanding is the very theme of the dream). I think the same thing applies to reading as well. I either know what is there (usually), or can't figure it out at all. Reading the actual words is almost never done.

Just my 2 cents,
