Reading while dreaming: The two areas of the brain used in partnership for language comprehension (Broca's and Warnicke's) are usually disrupted during sleep, making reading impossible. Some people (usually professional writers) can read during lucid dreaming. I'm a technical writer/editor, which may explain my sleep-reading and why it seems so important to me.
I, too, manipulate my dreams, with a lot of physical activity occurring. I travel, too. In living color! I love to sleep.
Our brains are so amazing, and I believe that often (but not always) what seems "paranormal" to us only means we are accessing a part of the brain we have forgotten how to use.
