Um. I fairly regularly have dreams where I’m reading, a book or signage or something. Some dreams I can’t, granted, but not all. Am I a mutant or something? 0_o
I read in my dreams all the time. At one point I had somebody tell me that no, no, I just THOUGHT I was reading. But no, I’ll wake up with a clear memory of the print on the page. So hey.
But when it comes to the brain, every guideline has exceptions. Possibly we’re just outliers.
