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
not on a phone but i’ve had discord conversations in my dreams before
Dumb. Mine was in my dream last night. I remember teaching my son to set a PIN instead of using Apple Face. If I remember, in the dream, he spent a lot of time making funny faces at me.
Anything that involves dexterity or hand movements generally don’t show up in dreams. Thats why fighting in your dreams feels like a numb slap fight.
I haven’t tried to fight any of my dreams yet. So this is an interesting revelation.
Fighting in my dreams is usually more like Mortal Kombat with an endlessly refilling health meter. Brutal attacks that do nothing.
I experience that when i have generally high anxiety
Have them pop up, but they work extremely erratically. Mostly pop up in the context of reading a single text, which changes if I think to look at it again (rare).
Buttons do whatever they feel like (mostly nothing or stuck keys producing garbage text), and I don’t think I’ve made or received a phone call (can’t say this for landlines when they show up).
Idk man, dreams are weird.
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.
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.
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.
It’s usually pretty explicit and on the nose. Not much room for alternative interpretation in many cases.
I’m a xennial so very much grew up without cellphones at all, let alone smartphones. They occasionally pop up in my dreams.
A void cannot pierce the immaterium.
Because dreams don’t exist anymore. I haven’t had a dream in years, and since anything I experience is universal that means everyone else is just lying about having dreams, and that’s why there aren’t phones aren’t in dreams.

i think that’s because of all the weed, but i could be wrong
That’s absolutely it. I was a chronic waker-and-baker for almost thirty years and never had dreams. I quit four years ago and now I have multiple intense dreams every night. I genuinely don’t like it at this point - I spend too much of my first few minutes awake each morning worrying about shit that never actually happened.
i used to be able to lucid dream (beating my sleep paralysis demon the fuck up with a thick bike chain was a special treat) but honestly i didn’t sleep restfully back then. been wake and baking for ten years and the occasional dream is neither deep enough to control nor invite the hat man. I’ll take it.
I’ve had at least a dozen dreams of trying to text someone during an emergency and I’m unable to do so. I keep fat fingering the buttons and it won’t send.
That’s about where I am. I commonly have a phone in my dream, but I can never type words properly.
I’ve had that dream many times! I cant recall it super specifically right now but funny enough, I think it’s typically a landline keypad I’m screwing it up on for some reason.
Ah, I’m sorry. That sounds anxiety-inducing.
Dreams are usually pure anxiety for me. Do people actually have enjoyable ones?
Yes, the sex ones
i have the same thing, it always scares me. i feel like it will happen in real life one day
I had a flip phone in a dream once but all the text on the screen was Cyrillic gibberish.
My cell phone is in my dreams all the time. Usually I’m trying but failing to make or send text messages or phone calls.
It’s when I succeed in my dream that I wake up in a panic and check my phone to make sure that I didn’t actually carry it out in real life. So far so good.
The panicked “did I really send that text”. Can’t say I haven’t been there.
Dreams are the brain trying to solve problems it couldn’t solve during the day. Phones are nightmares we’re forced to entertain during the day. Does the heroin addict dream of hot spoons and needles or the way they feel when high?
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.”
I have dreams with phones all the time. I dream that I type something, I look at the keyboard for a second, and when I look back at the text box I realize I made a mistake and have to rewrite most of the text.
It helped me realize I already experienced a quirk of the brain while dreaming, that I found about some time after I started having this recurring dream: if you look at a text while dreaming, then you look away and then back at it, the text will change.
It’s the same with watches. If you look at your watch twice the time will change.
A glitch in the matrix…
