I've been running this over in my mind for a long time, and I never can understand this; why SHOULD text change upon multiple readings. I do understand that if you simply glance at text, then glance back, it can change because you consciously didn't think about it, and with dreaming being completely internal, it could be "rewritten" so to speak since technically that objects ceased to "exist" when you looked away from it, and later glances can spark changes. However, what I don't understand is why text that is consciously read and memorized for a reality check could work. If you do a reality check with text, you must memorize the sentence or word before you look at it again, or your reality check would be completely pointless. However, now that you have done this, why should subsequent glances show different wording or numbers? I doubt that it is extensively difficult for the mind to remember the position of numbers on a digital clock, or a couple words on a page for a couple seconds. To me, logic says the sentence should read exactly the same, and clocks should read the same time.

The reason I'm asking this is that I want you guys to try something out. Next lucid dream, if you remember (and I know how hard it is to remember something in a dream), I'd like you all to try this out, trying to expect that you SHOULD be able to see the same thing. I will also try if I remember, but so far I have only read, but never reread. If anybody else has a comment on this, and a possible explanation (placebo?), or has already experienced it, put it in this thread. Thanks.
