Whenever I have a phone in my dream I can’t type on it. Just endless typos and gibberish and frustration. Sometimes kicks me into lucid dreaming if I pick up on it not working
I remember when gatekeeping was for the truly elite, now we have all of these newbies around who know enough to think they’re better than the uninitiated
The difference between dreaming of a book vs dreaming the story the book told. The phone is simply a medium, unless it acquires some other kind of association tied more directly to the actual object.
I have dreamed I was sitting using my phone and messaging friends and family before.
It was odd too because they were legit conversations that would be things my actual friends and family would talk about or bring up but when I would make up, confused at why I was asleep, I’d look at my phone and find these conversations never actually happened.
When I try to remember the conversations it all comes out as upper and lowercase letters and numbers. Like my brain is trying to encrypt the messages I got in these dreams.
I dreamt about my phone. I sometimes suffer from false awakenings (thinking you have woken up, bit you are still dreaming). So, I thought that I had woken up and everything looked like normal. Then I got my phone to check the time and instead of the time, there was a weird cube swirling around on my phone. So, then I knew I was still dreaming.
Then I wanted to wake up, but I couldn’t, so I panicked and it became a nightmare where I suddenly saw a ghost in my room that was floating around with her head in a very unnatural position. Then she started screaming and I woke up. (But this is not the important part, the important part is that there was a phone in my dream.)
I found it really scary. It think it is horrible to have that every night. I used to do the same thing. However, I found that the only times I felt I needed to check, I was sleeping. So, being unsure about whether I am asleep is actually already a good indicator.
I think what happens with me is that I want to wake up and I can’t and then I panic and everything becomes scary. So, it is probably just that I want to wake up and I cannot.
Not in regular dreams for me. However i used to habe a recurring dream where i accidentally broke my phone display every time. I thibk it’s because I was poor and broke my phone display a lot.
My only guess for why my phone never shows up is that it just works. I never really drop it and I don’t spend much of my day on it. But I can understand if you drop your phone a lot why it might be popping up!
I’ve had many dreams where I’ve tried to use my phone but the display is all glitched out and distorted, or totally non responsive, or the battery immediately dies. Phones are never useful and always frustrating in my dreams.
