They said the same about clocks/watches, but I've seen the time a couple of times already in a dream. Yeah, NOT the real time, but a realistic one.

Also about reading words. I've read plenty of stuff in my dreams. The problem is that the words aren't stable. Like they change when you look away.

For me I can read fine in my dreams, but if I become the tiniest bit lucid I realize that it doesn't actually say what I thought it said, it's just gibberish. Also my brain will sometimes go "The thing you thought it said makes no sense. It'd make a lot more sense if it said this." Then the words change and I go "Oh, my mistake."

Around 3 years ago I dreamed I overslept and woke up at 6:31. I have to leave home around 6:10 to be on time for work.

That morning I woke up on time, but when I got in my car its clock showed it was 6:31. I didn't understand how it could be that late and checked the time on my phone. Turned out the car was showing the wrong time, which happened to be the same time as in my dream.

Last month I overslept and woke up at 6:31.

You wanna dream up some lottery numbers for me friend?

The trick is to look away and look back and see if the time changed.

Same with books. Try to read it. Now try again

Nah, best to check if your dream kettle will boil.

I like to lay down and try to nap. If I can't then I might already be asleep and should be wary.
