I've heard that one of the foolproof methods of discovering that you are dreaming is to attempt to read something. Well, maybe this is just because I read all the time when awake, but I have no trouble reading while in the dream state. In fact, I spend about a 4th of my dreams catching up on my reading

Has anyone else had this experience? And if so, what kind of books do you read while dreaming?

Since none of the books I have read in my dreams seem to exist in the waking world, I've considered the possibility of transcribing them when I awake. Of course, I won't be able to remember everything exactly as it was written down, but I would be able to convey the general idea of what I read. Has anyone else tried this? If so, do you have any tips or advice?

Maybe it's just because I'm a bibiophile but this aspect of lucid dreaming excites me even more than flight.
