Do your sleep dreams include mobile phones?

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.

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.

Very rarely. Which is odd now you point it out!

Yes, but I can never type in the password correctly. So I don't get to use it when it does appear.

I'll dream that I check the time on my phone when I'm laying in bed in the morning and it'll say something an hour or two after I'm supposed to be up and working and I'll wake up without realizing I was asleep and start getting up before realizing what just happened

Yep. But it has an unusable interface. And I'll try the LLM, Call mom! and find that I can't get it to place a call.

Yep. I struggle to use it in my sleep as your brain isn't very good at being consistent with things like text and such. In dreams I often find my phone malfunctioning or the world starting to fall apart when I try and use it for anything more than taking a photo

I dreamt last night that I used my phone but, likewise, it was for photography.

Had several dreams where I took pictures with famous people just to wake up and be sad that I didn't get to keep the pictures. It was a weird stage thing from "oh it wasn't real, but at least I got a picture" to "oh wait I cannot bring the pictures with me" and being really sad that I cannot.

Imagine what looking at a dream would be like though with an awake mind. In dreams you don't see weird stuff as the common sense part of your brain shuts off, but I am certain, at least in mine, that the dream reality would look like it's AI generated. Nearly there, but not quite. Funnily enough my dreams have had consistent shortcuts (like from two places in my life that are miles apart, but are around a street corner in the dream) and even dreams referencing events in older dreams that I only remember when I'm dreaming... Unless that memory is actually fake as well.

Oh also, I have a radio alarm which could mess with dreams. Once The Archers came on and I dreamed of Philip Moss getting arrested quite vividly, just to realise I could replay the entire audio. It was like replaying a dream. Spooky.

Yes and no. You could technically say I would be on it in my dreams as a kind of interpretation, but I never see what I'm on if on anything, just that I'm browsing in the dream equivalent of fullscreen.

I never dream.

Yes. The battery overheated and melted.

I've had at least one dream where I used my phone to message a friend something (which is something I do every day). I can't recall any other specific times, but I feel like I've seen it a few times.

Don't think I've seen my computer though.

I have had several nightmares where I lost my phone and embarked on progressively hellish journeys to get it back. The details of these nightmares are hazy in my memory now, I only really remember feeling lost and afraid, and enormously relieved when I woke up.

Nemo ,

Yeah, sometimes.

Just this morning, in a dream, my friends and I were recording a Sasquatch like creature on our phones

Sometimes, my worst nightmare is dropping my phone and shattering.
