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.

    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.

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

    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

    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 only ever really noticed them when I was actively lucid dreaming and my subconscious was feeding them to me as lucidity hooks. Using technology in dreams doesn’t really work and telling time is the most basic regular thing you could check if you’re dreaming with.

    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.

    I wonder how much your age has to do with it?

    I’m in my mid 40s, and didn’t have a mobile until I was about 19 or 20, and smart phones didn’t become popular until I was probably in my mid 20s. They just weren’t a part of my formative years.

    Generally, no, but it did last night. We had moved into a new house, and we were trying to tell Uber Eats which train station we were closest to so our delivery person could get off at that station before driving to our house.

    We do not love near a train station. It was weird as dreams tend to be.

    Yes and they are always broken. I can never contact anyone.
