That's pretty much how my dreams work. For example, I can read in my dreams (like signs, books), but it's almost always one word at a time, and the rest of the text becomes impossible to focus while I'm reading that word, no matter how hard I try. It's like the "permanence module" is disabled and my brain falls back to a primitive generative AI for the next frame. And, I can't reason about the logic of my experience, the lack of causality, or persistence of objects at the time. Everything feels "as they should be" despite how awkward things get. I guess that's why nightmares are so convincing or hard to get out of, because I can't reason about them. The whole article feels like describing a typical dream to me.
