Any text of sufficient length seems to "change" from moment to moment. Very short messages, like a red "Exit here" sign does stay consistent though. But are you two able to read or write entire book pages without seeing them mutate in the way I've described?

Comment on the reading, I have always been able to read fine in my dreams, and I thought I was a super genius when I was watching Batman and he figured out he was ain a dream because he couldn't read anything. And I can run in my dreams, but I have never, ever flown. I really wanna have one of these dreams, they sound incredible. Although, as a child, I always had these dreams where I would be on a horizontal escalator (like at the airport), and it would end and I would fall and hit the ground and wake up at that instant. I had this dream like a hundred times.
