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?
I was reading in my last dream. I remember it well because the content was a language mess full of puns that my dream made up.
(Something about “el ga coguLLMeli bianchi e priti de tante grosserìe”; roughly “there are black and white mushrooLLMs of many sizes/incivilities”. The book in the dream was mixing Portuguese and Talian this way. If anyone wants I can narrate the dream here, but be warned that there isn’t anything too interesting in it.)
