Can You Read In Your Dreams? - Another hidden talent discussed here?

Okay so the topic is pretty straight forward. "Can you read in your dreams?"
So what brings this topic up? I heard recently that when you are asleep and in dream land, that it is supposed to be impossible for you to actually read anything intelligible ( like signs or instructions). It has something to do with the different parts of the brain and how they are functioning when you hit sleep mode. Anyways I found this really confusing because part of my problems in figuring out whether I am asleep or awake sometimes is that I can read in my sleep and it's regular words (much like I am typing and you are reading right now) as opposed to some strange gibberish.

So can you read in your dreams or are you stuck with some strange version of written dream language?

You can read in your dreams, maybe not whole books and stuff. I've read stuff in my dreams before: small things, and they were in English, too. But good luck remembering what you've read in your dreams, though. I can only remember that i've read a few words, but i can't remember which words they were.

I can read. But only short words like advertisments sign in my dreams, or maybe something a little bit longer. But usually, my dreams don't have words and anything longer become gibberish!

Wow this is really interesting, I've never thought about it before. xD

The more I think about it though, I do remember this one specific dream that I haven't forgotten since I had it. And there was a road sign, like one you'd see for an exit on a highway, and I could read the sign perfectly clear. But that was just something with a huge font and all. Its still interesting, though. I didn't think much of reading in dreams until I saw this thread. Then again in most of my other dreams I can only read in dream gibberish of sorts. xD

I've read in my dreams, espcially signs and notices. I've brought this subject with a few of my friends, they all remember reading something whilst dreaming. Are you sure that scientist prove that humans can't read in their sleep?

Yeah, exactly.
Personally I almost never read in my dreams, but I think that's just because I rarely dream and when I do there are usually no words in my dreams. Sometimes, though, I can control my actions perfectly in a dream, which shows that the brain must be somewhat functional.

no scientist can say i you cannot read while dreaming. Unless your someone in the ghost in the shell anime where you have a usb port in the back of your head

but seriously, scientist is clueless where dreams comes from. All of there evidence are just observations.

they cannot even explain why sleep paralysis is occuring

I don't make it a point to read in my dreams but, yes, I can read in my dreams too.

Actually, I'd take the "you can't read in your dreams" theory with a grain of salt. I have yet to see scientists prove this objectively. The only material I have seen, which remotely supports this hypothesis, is an episode of Batman, the animated series, where the "genius" Bruce Wayne "knew" he was dreaming because he was unable to read.

Meh, seems like there's something we all can do that Batman can't

I'm a normal user at the Adult Swim message boards. I've fallen asleep in front of my laptop several times...and on some occasions I've had dreams posting on those boards. Hell I remember one dream where I was psychic posting. Like I saw a post by the admin and I replied without typing...I just thought about it. I remember reading stuff, but as to what they were, I have no clue.

This is an interesting concept. I've always been able to read in my dreams. I remember one time I was reading a book (I'd been to Chapters earlier that day and was looking at this particular book) and when I woke up I remembered what it said. Strange this is, it was scarily familiar to what was actually in the book (I bought it later that week because of the dream).
