A weird question for you all. When you dream, are phones and other tech in it?..

Scrolling through Facebook and one of those weird things come up.

It asks how it’s strange how when we dream our phones, laptops, tv’s etc are never in them.

It got me thinking, I can’t remember ever having my phone in my dream, using any tech at all.

My phone plays a big part in my life, as does my laptop for work. So it is actually a bit strange they have never been in a dream!

Do they appear in your dreams?

Ooh interesting. No I don’t think I can recall any that tech has featured in 🤔 Wow!

I sometimes dream I am phoning my grandad but he died 30 years ago. I can't understand why he won't answer the phone in the dream

Never. Nothing ever. Never.

I wonder if that will be different for younger people growing up now with phones a more central part of their lives 🤔

I always have a phone which I can never get to work for some reason. 🤷‍♀️

Omg it's not just me! What does it mean?

Now that is certainly a very interesting and weird question.

Considering how often we use our phones and tech, they have never ever appeared in my dreams nor any other tech.

When phones have been in my dreams it's just the old style ringing type sound but never the actual phone.

I think you might be on to something here!!!

One of my recent set of dreams this week has been me really enjoying a series on netflix. I woke up super excited to watch the next episode and it dawned on me that it doesn’t exist. I swear it’s been 3-4 nights of me enjoying this series until I realised. Sadly since I realised can’t get back to the dream 😢

@Inlaw That's really interesting, you should write it down

not really

I know this is totally mental, but I occasionally (maybe once every few years) dream that I've checked my phone and a celebrity has died. It's never a major part of the dream, just a sort of sidenote. For some bizarre reason, it's always a female singer from my childhood - I can remember this happening with Mariah Carey, Madonna, Mel C, and (how's this for an obscure reference?) Jessica Simpson. That's the only time I can remember my phone appearing in my dreams.

I should have done. I could remember the first few minutes I woke up then got stormed by a toddler. It’s been a few days and the more I try to recollect the more I forget. Can’t remember anything really now about the series except it was a nice warm one. Like a happy feel good but with some kind of suspense or excitement. No idea 🤷‍♀️

Those first few moments I realised I had been wondering whether this is what writers do. Wake up and write down the dream films 🎥🤣

Same here. Constantly on phone . None in dreams. But then I suppose dreams are about emotions aren't they, and tech gets in between the person you are communicating with.

I had a dramatic dream the other night (can't remember the details now), and I was so disappointed when I woke up! I wanted to see what happened next.

Ahh that sucks. Weird how it can really affect your emotions even when you have woken up. It’s like a shadow of your dream in a way.

Used to in a recurring dream about someone I needed to contact..

Yes, not phones but computers. One Excel spreadsheet that was wonky and another that was literally endless.

I only dream on phones not laptops or tvs.
I also have the recurring dream of trying to contact someone but also the one about finding extra rooms in the house too.

I had a dream where I was chatting to someone on the phone. It was my Dad (he had just died) and I asked him 'where are you?'. I don't remember the actual phone though.
