So far everyone I've asked has been in agreement, but figured I'd cast the net a bit wider to see if anyone here can explain or refute (because they frequently have dreams featuring their mobile phones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I don't ever recall a telegraph pole featuring in my dreams... and I must pass at least one every day! Same could be said for rubber car mats I guess, and I put my feet down on one every day! #pointless debate #ridiculous topic #wtf #dear oh dear #no, seriously #etc, etc...

Maybe our brains are doing the same, trying to create some drama? Although, I often dream about my phone, especially messaging people. I'm actually asleep now btw.

Stive Pesley Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 1 hour ago, ariotofmyown said: Lots of tv and films don't really use phones much as it can easily ruin the narratives That's a good point - I've noticed quite a few modern TV shows/films trying to use phones in the story line by overlaying the phone screen onto the screen so you can read what is being typed/read. It always feels really horrible and unnatural to me, so maybe that's also related I was thinking more in terms of how we use them so integrally now that I'm surprised we don't have more stress dreams about batteries not working, messages not loading, screens being made of marshamallow etc ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I often have a dream where I cannot enter my pin code properly to get into my phone. I've also had dreams where I'm on the phone talking to someone but they were not there, as I am beginning to wake up IRL. Stive Pesley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admira Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I dreamt about my mobile only last week funnily enough. I was in New York and the floods washed it away. I was in a big railway station picking up all these phones from puddles, trying to find mine. Stive Pesley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Now that it's mentioned, I don't think I have ever dreamed of talking on the phone, home line included. Dreams are very interesting where symbolism is the common language. One can learn to lucid dream, I sometimes manage that, sometimes not and it really irritates me when I am not able to be in control of the dream. I seem to be working on problems to solve quite often and then wake up mentally tired after the night. The place between waking and sleeping is a strange one, you are not awake, yet not asleep, but partly both, this is where sleep paralysis occurs.

TimRam Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 The best dreams are lucid ones (you realise it's a dream and not reality). I usually tell people in it they are in my dream! Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once a year? Same here. I can't remember the last time I can recall a dream. I just shut my eyes, open them and its a new day! My wife tells me I occasionally talk in my sleep so something is going on, but dammed if I can remember one. I also sleep through thunderstorms and the odd earthquake we've had as well - there's probably a link 🫤 Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Due to the tablets I take, one of the side effects is whacky dreams. Most of mine wouldn't make much sense if you don't know the characters involved. Best part of going to bed for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 A few years ago I read somewhere that people trying to call somewhere but not being able to is one of the most common dreams that people find unpleasant. Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstand Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Now I am retired I keep having nightmares about having to attend work. Even working at home on a laptop sends shivers down my spine. I also keep having nightmares about young people being brainwashed at university they will never retire until they are in their eighties.

ramit Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Some dreams are prophetic, you may not believe that, but in my locale it is a fact, we call those bare dreams. Around thirty years ago I had a dream, a very precise clear dream, one of those more real than real dreams, if you catch my meaning. I won't recount it here, but I dreamed of my wife and of my son many years before they became a reality for me. Don't discount the super realistic dream, there is more to this reality and your destiny than your senses can acquire in the waking state.
