Certainly I had never read anything in a dream that I recognized as being letters and words -- as you say, if you ever read anything in a dream, it's usually indistinct writing that you nevertheless understand anyway. But not long after I had a dream where I read something with distinct letters and words. So I don't know. I can't for the life of me remember that dream, though, so I'm not sure how sure I was that I was actually reading.

I don't know if this is the same thing or not, but I often dream in words. I think it has something to do with the fact that when I make up stories, I think of the WORDS I would use to describe it, and not necessarily the pictures. I also think in words. Does this happen to anyone else? And is it the same thing as reading in a dream?

Mi"and yes, I think I read those words, too. After all, I have to spellcheck my dreams! ;-)"a
