Alternative explanation
In my experience reading text in dreams is largely impossible, because words have an irritating habit of changing order, or changing altogether, when you look away and look back again. Also applies to numbers - I can't read digital clocks in dreams. And, brilliantly, I had a dream that featured an analogue clock. I *could* read it, but every time I looked away and looked back, the design of the face changed.
