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.

Almost never. And neither do computers in general, now that I think about it. Which is weird considering how much time I spend using them.
Same here come to think about it. That’s weird too.
Yes and they are always broken. I can never contact anyone.
That’s weird. Is it because your simulation server is offline for maintenance?
They didn’t pay for premium dreams
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.
One time I knew I was dreaming and I dreamt something I wanted to remember when I was awake. So I whipped out my iPhone and opened up the notes tab. I was halfway through writing when I realized it wouldn’t be on my waking life phone when I awoke.
I don’t recall ever interacting with my phone in my dreams.
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
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.
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.
I wonder how much your age has to do with it?
I’m in my mid 40s, and didn’t have a mobile until I was about 19 or 20, and smart phones didn’t become popular until I was probably in my mid 20s. They just weren’t a part of my formative years.
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.
They will now.
Never, and I remember my dreams every night. Interesting question that I had never thought about.
Never, which is weird because I’m on my phone all day long. I never dream about phones or computers.
No, but what about my wake dreams?
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.
