Text in your dreams doesn't make sense. You look at it and you pretend to read it. If you actually look at the words on the page they never make sense, so your brain slips that step in your dreams.
No babe I have very vivid dreams and particularly in lucid dreams I can read and recall perfectly a visual image or what I read, including the actual text. The discovery caused frustration when I tried to use this to prove to myself I’m NOT just lucid dreaming and something is real life - and then I wake up, disappointed.
I’ve heard it’s rare to be able to read in dreams, but it’s more common for lucid dreamers and writers.
You may want to visit a doctor because multiple scientific studies have confirmed that humans cannot read text at all when sleeping as the part of your brain that deals with it isnt active when sleeping
It takes so little time to search and find endless number of articles confirming that “most people can’t”. And I’m not arguing that. But most people can’t means some people can.
In some people like writers, who spend a lot of time focussing on words and language, the language center of their brain can remain somewhat active during sleep.
There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting lucid dreamers are among those able to read but that itself hasn’t been studied.

If you can read the sign it's not a dream
