I had another WTF dream last night (after watching Freddy vs. Jason, mind you) that I was going around with some female buddy trying to get out of a building. I came upon these 2 chick dolls and I fuct them up real good by picking them up by their feet and bashing their faces against metal railings. It was quite brutal. Then as we are about to exit, I open a door to see a some creature holding a machete... I promptly attempt to chop his right arm off before he could swing that thing at us...

Couldn't tell you a damn thing about what any of the doors said or any signs along the way.

batman's willpower broke him through it, mad hatter surprised

:confused:

Actually, I'm reading this from a more credible source: The Oxford Encyclopedia of Psychology (1998 edition). It's in the section on lucid dreams. It says you can not read printed words while dreaming. However, a lot of reading is done through memorization, so you may be able to recall text that is printed on familiar objects.

I'd love to know how they tested that.

Obviously you cannot read while you're sleeping, but you CAN dream that you're reading.

I'm sorry, but this dream means you are repressing being gay.

I can most certainly remember being able to comprehend the words on the signs. :p

were you reading them? Or had you seen them so many times they were memorized and recalled? ponder THAT ;)

So does BAtman read while he dreams? Does Batman dream?
that may be the cool fact.

I wonder if Aquaman can read in his dreams?
