If a mobile (cell, handy) phone is part of your life, do your dreams include reference to it?
The other night I dreamed that I left mine in someone’s car. That struck me as odd because it may have been the first time one of my dreams included such a reference - even though I’m constantly on my phone during waking hours.

I used to keep my phone under my pillow(no night table) with an alarm on it.
“Stressed” is not lightly used when I talk about how it felt for my phone to go off and not stop. Alarm off, power off, under a pillow, thrown away, even smashed and snapped in two it would always keep ringing because, of course, in the real world it was under my head and never changing. Once I woke up proper and turned it off the silence was painful and I felt so unrested I very nearly cried.
It’s not an “emotional” nightmare, i.e. it didn’t pull at anything heavy on my mind or anything, but it was torturous as a “physical” one.
I’ve had this same dream but with an old clock radio I used as an alarm. Not even removing the 9v battery would shut it off in my dream.
Haha you get me. But man, just the battery? I would have eventually smashed it to pieces with my bare hands, blinked, and it’d still be there like nothing had happened at all.
It’s like when you have to pee in a dream and you finally go and pee in your dream and you don’t feel any better because you have to pee IRL
Thank god you didn’t feel better!
Several times I woke up thinking “did I just wet myself” when thankfully I did not
I only ever really noticed them when I was actively lucid dreaming and my subconscious was feeding them to me as lucidity hooks. Using technology in dreams doesn’t really work and telling time is the most basic regular thing you could check if you’re dreaming with.
Yes, but I can never type in the password correctly. So I don’t get to use it when it does appear.
I don’t usually dream but I did have a dream recently where my phone got totally destroyed and it bummed me out since I wouldn’t be eligible for the Google pixel 8a trade-in anymore
jesus fucking christ
Never, and I remember my dreams every night. Interesting question that I had never thought about.
I never dream.
I’ve had at least one dream where I used my phone to message a friend something (which is something I do every day). I can’t recall any other specific times, but I feel like I’ve seen it a few times.
Don’t think I’ve seen my computer though.
Yes. The battery overheated and melted.
Yes. In fact I’ve heard that being unable to dial a phone is something that is common in dreams. That’s how I wake up in a lot of dreams. I’m trying to text someone or dial a phone number and can’t do it.
Very rarely. Which is odd now you point it out!
Usually not and I always found it weird. In the rare occasion a smartphone appears in a dream it’s always impossible to use, like nothing works correctly. I actually had a dream today where I was lost and Google Maps was giving some very bad instructions.
Strangely enough I don’t think I’ve ever dreamt of a computer even though most of my day is spent in front of one.
I’ve never dreamed of a computer either. I have dreamed of Minecraft though but that was being inside of it
That’s pretty cool tbh
I’ll dream that I check the time on my phone when I’m laying in bed in the morning and it’ll say something an hour or two after I’m supposed to be up and working and I’ll wake up without realizing I was asleep and start getting up before realizing what just happened
Never thought about it till now but that’s strange. I dream often and I spend at least 8 hours working on the computer each day. But I never came across one in my dream. I also never used a phone in my dreams.
Yes. But usually it doesn’t want to work (try to dial someone and I can’t dial properly or trying to find my car and Siri or maps won’t work).
This is usually a tell for me that I’m dreaming. I frequently try to check the time only to find that it doesn’t make any sense.
Yep. But it has an unusable interface. And I’ll try the LLM, Call mom! and find that I can’t get it to place a call.
