Maybe you're reading books that are too hard. You have to read books that are appropriate for your level.

I don't dream chess, either.

Letters are good.

Just play, do 1 or 2 move puzzles and try not to hang your pieces.

I don't think I'm serious enough for chess. many people dream about chess positions but I don't dream about them so I must be not taking it seriously. anyone have any interesting chess dreams? or nightmares

I koew it was time for me to quit playing in tournaments when i was having a difficult time keeping the positions clear in my head.  I simply dont have the desire to think that much anymore.

"... I generally prefer to hold a physical book and turn its pages, just as I do a magazine or newspaper. Nevertheless, it's clear that as time progresses a higher percentage of published material will be coming to us in electronic form (with increased video content), including both original and reproduced content. Chess publication is no exception, obviously. ... electronic products ... can ... have many more features, above all allowing the reader to click or tap through the moves in the book. ..." - IM John Watson (2013)

Just keep reading the same diagram over and over until you can clearly visualise whatever position it's trying to show you, or just play the moves out on a digital/real board.
