That's odd. There's a belief that you cannot read in dreams because the part of the left brain that specializes in it tend to be less active during dreaming. Well, you can read, but the symbols look jumbled. For some people, they can make out words, but if they look away and look at the page/area again, it says something else. In my case, personally, it's quite peculiar: I can read words, but not digits. In one recent dream, I noticed some Japanese-like characters in a road-side ATM screen, panicked and started grabbing people of the street and yelling "Show me a number! Show me your phone clock!" and sure enough the digits were garbled, which is how I realized I was dreaming.

I don’t need to read it as much as think about what the things are and what they should do. I remember doing this with some networking code a few years ago and thinking of how I wanted to structure different datagrams and which parts of the system would be responsible for creating and processing them. It had less to do with waking up and copying everything word for word and more to do with thinking of “put this function into this module which should do this kind of thing, then hook a callback to it from this function”, etc.
