Oh great, now I might dream about them.
Edit too many nows.
i often have a dream of an android virus on my phone stealing all my money and data
Speak for yourself, my phone is constantly in my dreams, and for some reason my alarm isn’t stopping no matter how much I try!
I’m a xennial so very much grew up without cellphones at all, let alone smartphones. They occasionally pop up in my dreams.
Typically I can’t read letters or numbers in my dreams.
it’s often how I realise I’m dreaming. looking as moving shapes but still somehow being able to read it. something clicks and I know I’m in a dream. can’t hold it for long though.
I have cell phones in my dreams all the time. One of my most common stress dreams is that I can’t enter a fucking address into the navigation app
I was trying to buy a buss ticket while running thru a city and my password was 20 characters long and trying to enter anything is useless.
I very rarely remember my dreams but I definitely do remember that once a long time ago I did dream of making a forum post from my smartphone. So the premise is not correct for all people.
I regularly have dreams where I’m trying to use a smartphone but can’t do anything because I can’t read the screen and Pacific because it feels like I’ve been hacked.
My vape also regularly falls apart in dreams, and back when I smoked lighters never worked.
I think that the part of our brain that processes these mechanics are shut down when we sleep, so when our dream self tries to use them they just don’t function.
Could come into play where punching in a dream is impossible and running is difficult.
I ain’t no brain doctor, or nothin’.
My dreams are usually pretty communicative and applicable to things going on in my life. Glasses breaking when I was starting to have a drinking problem, bombing theatrical performances when I wasn’t acting authentically in my relationships, etc.
Not saying it’s applicable for every dream, but I think our unconscious mind is pretty communicative with us when it has something to say.
Was that meaning there or did you apply it post facto?
With confirmation bias it is easy to apply meanings to things that aren’t necessarily there.
Glad someone’s dreams actually have meaning. Mine make no sense and I forget most of them by the time I wake up. The best I can hope for is getting a few seconds of lucid dreaming where I can can fly around for a bit until the dream ends (whenever the lucid thing happens, the dream seems to fall apart and I have trouble keeping myself from waking up).
I’ve tried flying many times before. The first attempts are more like jumps. Right when I feel like I’m flying, I get excited. Waking myself up dissapointed. Really dissapointed…
Yeah, it’s something like that for me too.
I want to know why I continually dream about taking a piss but never actually wet the bed. I mean, thank you bladder but jeez.
Actually, I’m a school bus driver and most of my dreams involve me fucking up badly somehow in my bus and waking up bummed that I’m going to have to find another job. I wonder if other drivers have this going on.
I want to know why I continually dream about taking a piss but never actually wet the bed.
Sorry about that. Bug fixed. You will now piss the bed.
When I bought my first new car, I had horrible nightmares about wrecking it for a solid 6 months. Not quite the same, but I sympathize.
Edit: Upon rereading this, it makes me sound like ms money bags with my “first” new car. Felt I should clarify, it’s also my only new car and I finally pay it off next year and I’m so excited!!! Anyway…
I dream about messing up at work pretty frequently as well.
Ooh do you ever have dreams where you either can’t quite reach the brake pedal, or you can but the vehicle barely slows down?
Also the pissing… I pretty regularly have dreams where I’m taking a piss and usually don’t pee IRL… But every once in an unfortunate while… But in those few times, luckily the sensation of warm piss on my skin quickly awakens me and my bladder sphincter slams shut before I’ve soaked the sheets.
My bus dreams are usually about getting into some tight spot where I have to back up and then smashing shit up when I do. We’re told quite emphatically to never back up and our enormous repair bills justify that. I’ve taken out a few fences myself in the real world.
People can dream of phones but the ability to read language while dreaming depends on where that language processing routes through the brain as it is different for different people. Most commonly people cannot read in dreams. Being able to write in dreams is even more rare.
This is why reading and writing is one of my lucid dreaming triggers. Don’t need tops or other tokens like in Inception. Just try to read the same thing multiple times and it’s different everytime in a dream, because you aren’t actually reading, just hallucinating that you are.
thank you Batman for teaching me this
Read this yesterday, went to bed, dreamt about phones.
Genuinely, i was just dreaming about a new phone i was looking to buy.
I don’t personally spend much of my day thinking at all about my phone. It’s an extension to get to what matters, like my family, or completing a task. I don’t ever think “I’m looking at my smartphone” as much as “I’m talking to my sister” and “I’m using the Bank’s app.”
Sometimes I dream that I have to call 112 but can’t. I type 111… clear… 122… clear… 111… clear… 1112… clear… Brain definitely has issue with maintaining a consistent state of UI in dreams. Even watches don’t work. Every time you check the time it will be different.
Same fucking thing, a couple of times i did manage to call and they answered the call, only for them to be incredibly incompetent and super annoying, they wouldn’t take me seriously at all.🥲
I have had that one often even with landlines.
Last night I dreamt the icons on my home screen were scrambled. To make matters worse, there was a transparent vertical Windows style taskbar overlaid with its own icons and I could not find the icon/app I wanted.
Yes Windows and phone in the one nightmare! Could have been worse: a clippy AI 🤓
I saw this when it was originally posted in 2023 and it stuck with me like yeah, why don’t I dream about using my phone. Maybe it’s because they are an extension of something else I’m doing or maybe I just don’t remember.
And then one day did dream of struggling to use my phone and then in the dream itself I realized this was a dream and I was using a damn phone so the original assumption was wrong. I do dream about it, I just never think about it enough to remember. But when I started to think about it now I remembered.
I get phones in my dreams all the time. Usually checking the time and being late to get up. Sometimes the horror of receiving an unexpected call
receiving an unexpected call
They asked about dreams, not nightmares…

Well that my secret all my dreams are nightmares, do people have pleasant dreams? My are either straight up unnerving nightmares or a weird crazy mess that makes no sense. Also they jump from one scene to other. Sometimes they are hard to keep together. What I don’t understand is for most people dreams are supposed to fade away after waking. But for me a lot of them I can hold onto for fucking years in vivid detail. And if I concentrate hard enough when I go to bed can revist some. But that part is rare.
Dreams fascinate me and I will ponder over mine for days or weeks. The only dreams that make sense are the smoking dreams. I am ex smoker and I will have the occasional dream of picking up a pack of cigarettes and smoking. They say that is just par for the course for addicts. Sad thing I hear that one doesn’t ever go away.
But the rest of my dreams cant gst handle on them. But none of them are good or pleasant.
