I’ve dreamt about being locked in a phone booth traveling through time collecting famous people of the past to help me with an English paper. Who says we don’t dream of phones?
In the last few days, I have lucid dreams almost every night, but I also wake up midnight and then fall asleep pretty easily again so I basically use WBTB without noticing it. Still can’t control it and I really should start keeping a dream diary again. The dreams were incredibly vivid and I still remember actually walking and the feeling of touching things.
Just today I had a lucid dream and looked at my phone to tell the time. Then I remembered this post and thought “ha, I can use my phone in dreams”
I just always forget to stabilize my dream and wake up when closing my eyes.
Awesome :) I used to lucid dream all the time as a kid, it was amazing. It seemed to stop as I got older though I’m sure if I practiced I could get it back.
My dreams are always incredibly vivid and clear, and long though. Last night my dream was over a week or so in dream time 😆
Phone breaking anxiety, anyone? I have broken several phones by dropping them in my dreams. I got my first in ~2002 and I haven’t broken a single phone since then. I guess I just jinxed it, but still… I definitely dream about phones about once a year.
Mine just show up in nightmares, never in good dreams…
I end up lost in a strange place with unknown people & can’t get a map, txt or call on the phone consumed with malware that looks like game images with no way to exit - I don’t normally play games on my phone.?.
I’ve had dreams where I’ve pulled out my phone to take a picture of something beautiful that I want to remember and then I wake up upset that I didn’t actually take the picture.
I’ve had multiple dreams where people from my past messaged me something meaningful, but before i can fully read it, I accidentally scroll past it and spend the rest of the dream frantically trying to find it again.
I’ve definitely used my phone in dreams before. People have also said that you can’t read properly in dreams and that’s one way to know you’re dreaming (I was interested in lucid dreaming for a bit), but words look just fine to me when I’m dreaming
Same. I’ve had phones and text in dreams. Another trigger is supposed to be looking at a clock and it won’t look right but I’ve checked the time in dreams many times.
When I was around 8 years old, I lost a new issue of Nintendo Power in a Service Merchandise store. That may be the most aged statement I’ve ever made.
Anyway, this was a very distressing experience for me; my disappointment and loss of hope sticks with me to this day. I vividly remember dreaming about finding it some time after. However, in my dream I recall flipping through the pages only to find garbled nonsense, page after page.
This was actually more distressing to my confused, young mind. I don’t even try to read in dreams anymore, but maybe I should; it would be a dead giveaway.
I still miss that issue. It was the Dr. Mario issue for anyone wondering.
Well it really depends. When dreaming you mostly see what you expect to see. I sometimes can read and sometimes can’t.
I can certainly say that my short term memory in dreams is really bad. It’s like you’re tripping balls on LSD or something. (at least in my experience. It might be different for you)
I have a recurring problem of dialing 911 in my dreams and the call never goes through, different dreams but anytime I try calling for help in any of them the call never connects when I need it to.
