I've heard everywhere that numbers and latters are random in dreams, that's why the time RC works -- you look at a clock then back again and it's different. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for me. In one non-lucid dream I was in a store looking for a particular item. The price tags of the item stayed the same. I picked it up, it said $3.99, then I went to pay for it and it was $3.99, and the numbers seemed right to me. If they had changed I would have become lucid, because I looked at the price many times.

Then last night in my Lucid Dream, I was on the beach trying to summon a phone. However, instead of getting a phone, I saw my dad's cell phone number written backwards in the sand. Then I tried again, and my cell phone number appeared in the sand. Everytime I looked, they were the same. Why is this? I thought it was a basic rule that letters and numbers are random.
