So remember the old Batman animated series in the 90's? One episode Batman fights Sandman. Batman figures out how to tell if he is dreaming by trying to read. In the cartoon they say the part of your brain responsible for reading is asleep when your asleep so you cant read in dreams.
Then one night I have a dream. In my dream I have to read a newspaper. I notice I KNOW what it says. However I cant physicly see it. The letters are blurry. CLICK OMFG Im dreaming!
Works every time now. Everytime I try to read in a dream it reminds me im dreaming.
I can see and read text in dreaming easily unless it's an alien or foreign language I don't know. Doing math is a different story. My reality check is to pinch my nostrils shut. If I can still breathe, I'm dreaming.
I can read in dreams and see a reflection. Deboonked.
Im not trying to shill. I have sleep paralydis as well. It works for me. Everyone is differnt.
It triggers am I dreaming check in my brain.
Edit: like I said you will know what the words means without really seeing them. Concentrate on the letters.
I have written in dreams specifically with this in mind. I'm can conjure most stuff that comes to mind and most people. Can occasionally fly, but not reliably. Have only been able to teleport once. Still working on it.
