Yeah, my brain pulled a fuck you on me. I tried to read something in a dream (as technique to attempt lucid dreaming). My brain constructed the dream to have that text written in non-Latin alphabet.
Comment on How do you tell the difference between dream and reality?

If you are reading this you aren’t dreaming. It’s hard to read text in dreams because the part of your brain that handles text processing isn’t turned on.

Hard but not impossible. I’ve read reddit posts in my dreams back when I used to doomscroll. I remember the text being hard to read but readable sometimes, especially headlines.

I think what happens in those cases is that your brain is inventing the meaning of the text and making you think you are reading it. If you actually pay close attention to the text itself it should begin to fall apart.

Yeah that’s what it seems like. Almost gets pixelated and obscured, like using the pixelate tool in a photo editor.
