I have been able to have 'lucid' dreams since I was fairly young. Over the years I have become a little better but after reading some of the ideas on this website I've learned that the reason why my lucid dreams usually end shortly after beginning is because I get frustrated or too excited. I'm only mentioning this because this is the first I've actually read about other people having these kind of dreams where you have control over what happens or what you can do. To the point of the subject: even up until the most recent dream I can remember, anytime I have found text I've wanted to read it has been unreadable. It used to just be undreadable symbols which could have been russian for all I knew. Later on the words were actually made of letters from the alphabet but they were still scrambled . I have no idea why this happens. Maybe it is something person or maybe this has happens to other people i ntheir dream.
