I've never been able to read text in lucid dreams, ever. That's one way I'd know I was dreaming. The other is the standard, examine at your hands, then examine your feet, then examine the area you are in, then try flying,then look for some odd creature (which is usually a scout from another dimension) and communicate with it, and ask it to take you to its dimension. Sometimes going to other dimensions takes you to outer space, or throughwormholes. Very trippy. ~PM
