Completely false. They don’t show up in YOUR dreams. They definitely do in mine.
You might just be bad at dreaming and don’t have vivid dreams. Don’t worry, you can train that
Yeah I think this is it, some people don’t dream vividly and assume that’s how everyone’s dreams are.
In the last few days, I have lucid dreams almost every night, but I also wake up midnight and then fall asleep pretty easily again so I basically use WBTB without noticing it. Still can’t control it and I really should start keeping a dream diary again. The dreams were incredibly vivid and I still remember actually walking and the feeling of touching things.
Just today I had a lucid dream and looked at my phone to tell the time. Then I remembered this post and thought “ha, I can use my phone in dreams”
I just always forget to stabilize my dream and wake up when closing my eyes.
Awesome :) I used to lucid dream all the time as a kid, it was amazing. It seemed to stop as I got older though I’m sure if I practiced I could get it back.
My dreams are always incredibly vivid and clear, and long though. Last night my dream was over a week or so in dream time 😆
Phone breaking anxiety, anyone? I have broken several phones by dropping them in my dreams. I got my first in ~2002 and I haven’t broken a single phone since then. I guess I just jinxed it, but still… I definitely dream about phones about once a year.
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 false awaken every night and basically every time I have a lucid dream. So the first thing I ask myself when waking up is if everything makes sense
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.
Same. I just assume I’m dreaming. Not really scary though. I can easily turn it into a lucid dream
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.
Those dreams are the most terrifying. Maybe it’s just me who never sees their phone lol
Yes, it was very scary. Maybe that is why I still remember it and the phone.
Maybe you have nicer stuff to dream about than phones. :-)
I dreamed just the other day that I broke mine.

I worked at a Verizon store for 9 years. I definitely had dreams about phones. Usually them getting wet.
Not related to OP… I misread “phones” as “planes” and was confused for a solid 5 minutes why no one was talking about dreaming about airplanes.
But yeah, I definitely dreamt about the first iPhone before it was released…
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.
That’s because much like birds phones aren’t real.
Thank you! You may not be the Onion Knight that we want, but you are the onionbaggage that we deserve!
I’ve had multiple dreams where people from my past messaged me something meaningful, but before i can fully read it, I accidentally scroll past it and spend the rest of the dream frantically trying to find it again.
That’s just not true.
I’ve had dreams where I’ve pulled out my phone to take a picture of something beautiful that I want to remember and then I wake up upset that I didn’t actually take the picture.
That might not even be a dream for me. My phone actually sometimes doesn’t take the picture
You’re dreamin’!
I have panic dreams about my battery being empty or me not finding something, or software crashing all the time. I am not a relaxed dreamer.
Mine just show up in nightmares, never in good dreams…
I end up lost in a strange place with unknown people & can’t get a map, txt or call on the phone consumed with malware that looks like game images with no way to exit - I don’t normally play games on my phone.?.
For me I had a phone trigger a lucid dream because I noticed a small discrepancy. Guess that proves how much I’m on it.
Same, a phone triggered lucidity for me too. But in this case it was an office desk phone, and the text was just wrong on the screen.
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.
