It would be easy to create a webpage in which the text changed periodically, just using Javascript.
Yeah, but the text changing as soon as you look away… that’s gaslighting… Anyhoo, I see how the disticntion you draw is relevant. i also see how most people wouldn’t tell the difference until one pointed it out at them.
I remember reading about an experiment in which they did exactly that: change the text on a computer screen during eye sucades, when the eyes aren’t processing data, IE while you’re “Not looking”. Which reminded me of trying to read in dreams, certainly.
I once had a lucid dream in which I decided to see how good my latent memory was by picking up a book from my self in the dream and reading the first line to see, when I woke, if I’d got it right. But it was just nonsense babble which, as you point out, kept changing. Oh well.
… I am so ashamed...
