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?

I canna, offhand, remember anything I've read in a dream, but it doesn't come up all that often. It is, however, clearly understandable, unchanging text - I can go back and forth through books without difficulty and the like.

As for running - I don't know why I don't have any trouble with it, but I don't. This thread has prompted me to ask some of my friends about this sort of thing, and the resposes I got were of the "can't read, can't run" variety. I don't really know.

> BTW, um... is it that frequent for women to get chased around in dreams by unknown assailants? Just curious.

I wouldn't really know about that, but I get chased very infrequently. I don't ever seem to have any of the "classic" dreams that you hear about all the time - getting chased, falling, being naked in public, and so forth.
