- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

They said the same about clocks/watches, but I've seen the time a couple of times already in a dream. Yeah, NOT the real time, but a realistic one.
Also about reading words. I've read plenty of stuff in my dreams. The problem is that the words aren't stable. Like they change when you look away.
For me I can read fine in my dreams, but if I become the tiniest bit lucid I realize that it doesn't actually say what I thought it said, it's just gibberish. Also my brain will sometimes go "The thing you thought it said makes no sense. It'd make a lot more sense if it said this." Then the words change and I go "Oh, my mistake."
The trick is to look away and look back and see if the time changed.
Same with books. Try to read it. Now try again
Nah, best to check if your dream kettle will boil.
I like to lay down and try to nap. If I can't then I might already be asleep and should be wary.
My thought has always been that it's not that things like that can't work in dreams, but dreams are mostly symbolic and you're more likely to dream about using a phone or something if you have an issue with what it symbolizes. For instance, I personally often dream about trying to call or text my wife, but either the phone doesn't work, I can't see the screen, she can't hear me, or something like that. My guess is that the dream is about my frustration when I can't communicate well with my wife.
I've also had dreams where I was stuck or trapped in something and couldn't get my phone to work, couldn't make my voice work to yell, or anything like that, and I figure that it's because I have real issues asking anyone else for help.
