I ask because it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t but I regularly have dreams where I continue books I’m reading irl (they usually devolve into naritive nonsense over time and then sometimes to blank pages, but the actual text is definitely deciferable), text messages, computer screens, and road signs, in both lucid and regular dreams. Am I the odd man out or is it actually just something people say?
Yep that's it for me
It's also hard to tell if I can "read" something, or if I look at an object and just know what it says. Same with mirrors, supposedly you can't see your reflection in a dream but I might look at one and 'know' that I see myself
