Speak for yourself, my phone is constantly in my dreams, and for some reason my alarm isn’t stopping no matter how much I try!

I’m a xennial so very much grew up without cellphones at all, let alone smartphones. They occasionally pop up in my dreams.

I very rarely remember my dreams but I definitely do remember that once a long time ago I did dream of making a forum post from my smartphone. So the premise is not correct for all people.

Read this yesterday, went to bed, dreamt about phones.

Genuinely, i was just dreaming about a new phone i was looking to buy.

Typically I can’t read letters or numbers in my dreams.

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’.

I have cell phones in my dreams all the time. One of my most common stress dreams is that I can’t enter a fucking address into the navigation app

I’m guessing it happens most among millennials and gen z. Seems like dream norms are based on your youth.

Remember (gen x folks) when they used to say that everyone dreamed in black and white, but you’re like, nuh uh? It’s because boomers dreamed in black and white because they grew up on black and white TV.

I want to know why I continually dream about taking a piss but never actually wet the bed. I mean, thank you bladder but jeez.

Actually, I’m a school bus driver and most of my dreams involve me fucking up badly somehow in my bus and waking up bummed that I’m going to have to find another job. I wonder if other drivers have this going on.

Hmm, yea I’m on a computer the majority of most days probably but I can’t remember ever really dreaming about that

I saw this when it was originally posted in 2023 and it stuck with me like yeah, why don’t I dream about using my phone. Maybe it’s because they are an extension of something else I’m doing or maybe I just don’t remember.

And then one day did dream of struggling to use my phone and then in the dream itself I realized this was a dream and I was using a damn phone so the original assumption was wrong. I do dream about it, I just never think about it enough to remember. But when I started to think about it now I remembered.

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.

People can dream of phones but the ability to read language while dreaming depends on where that language processing routes through the brain as it is different for different people. Most commonly people cannot read in dreams. Being able to write in dreams is even more rare.

(computer but still relevant ig) I had a dream the other day that 4get.ca added an ai chatbot and a games tab. I was like holy fuck

I had a flip phone in a dream once but all the text on the screen was Cyrillic gibberish.
