We Can’t Read Or Tell The Time
You’d think we can read or tell the time while we’re dreaming. It seems counterintuitive that we can’t, considering we spend the majority of the time during the day reading or telling the time. Next time you dream, try to read or tell the time. You might see a fuzzy piece of paper or a clock melting into the wall. Because the language-accessing intellectual part of our brain shuts down while we sleep, we can’t access that part of the brain we need to read. The “Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area, for instance, two parts of the brain responsible for interpreting language, show significantly less activity while you dream,” and people are far more likely to experience telepathy in their dreams than identifying what someone is saying as concrete words.
