Some glowie was trying to mindread or remote view what I was doing last night, because I've been focusing on something. By being non-hostile he entered a dream scene which was the egregoral image of the event itself. It seems they can view these, but they don't know what those are physically. He went to read the document on my desk, but then he exclaimed: "But these aren't words!?"

So it seems, you can only see what your brain's template expects. He saw what looked like code written in capital roman letters with ¨ and other things added. In reality this paper on my desk was written in kana, it was me practicing handwriting. This means their practice method restricts them to see things within the scope of their practice. So they can't see random shapes accurately if they don't know what those mean. I assume if the document had been in Cyrillic, he would still have seen illegible roman letters. This way of working also means it wouldn't be possible for them to read other languages or even determine which language it is, unless they trained for that language specifically. Unlike when viewing a text irl and you can easily see if this is Arabic, Cyrillic, Korean, Chinese etc. they wouldn't have a clue.

I guess they have a different role for that thing, another compartmentalization to prevent people from drawing any personal conclusions about what they see. He would only be able to report that he saw gibberish, not that it was a different language or which language it was. I can totally see them now sending misinterpreted kana to be deciphered by some code-cracker as if it was code in roman letters.
