For me, I am usually looking through my own eyes, but sometimes it's like I'm looking through my own eyes to see me doing whatever. But it isn't like I'm an omnipotent being, but rather myself watching myself, as if in a mirror.

You can't read in the traditional sense of the word. Anything you dream is based in your memory, your thoughts and the sounds around you {this is why when a phone rings while you are dreaming, your dream might involve a similar sound, this keeps you asleep through many sounds}, and so you can only read something you've read before. If I were to pick up the newspaper in my dream, it would be random parts of newspapers I've read in the past, and so it would be disjointed. If you were to pick up a book you hadn't completed in your dream, you would be capable of reading what you've already read {even if you don't remember it word for word, your mind can recreate the image of the page}, and if you pass that point, you'd likely see blank pages, or random bits of text you'd seen in life. That being said, anything you read in a dream, will be unreliable, as memory is flawed at best.
