You Can'T Read

I attempt to analyse all of my remembered dreams, and for all of my life I have noticed that while I am dreaming, I can not read. A newspaper, an address or a sign on a street, all look like mixed up letters and numbers to me. I always thought that it had something to do with me personally, but I have come to learn that everyone is dyslexic when they dream, because the reading mechanism in our brain, is temporarily shut off while we dream. It is a natural law universally, and if per chance you do not believe me, attempt to read anything the next time you dream.

interesting as now I am trying to recall my latest dream about teaching a reading class and I cannot recall the specific words or story - just the girl reading aloud to the class and she has a book page open but I cannot even recall the words she's reading! :)
