Are you able to read in your dreams?

posted 1 year ago

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 can read signs or short texts, usually a little slowly since I guess technically I’m spelling it out in my mind as I’m reading it.
