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.

I used to keep my phone under my pillow(no night table) with an alarm on it.

“Stressed” is not lightly used when I talk about how it felt for my phone to go off and not stop. Alarm off, power off, under a pillow, thrown away, even smashed and snapped in two it would always keep ringing because, of course, in the real world it was under my head and never changing. Once I woke up proper and turned it off the silence was painful and I felt so unrested I very nearly cried.

It’s not an “emotional” nightmare, i.e. it didn’t pull at anything heavy on my mind or anything, but it was torturous as a “physical” one.

It's like when you have to pee in a dream and you finally go and pee in your dream and you don't feel any better because you have to pee IRL

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank god you didn’t feel better!

Several times I woke up thinking "did I just wet myself" when thankfully I did not

I've had this same dream but with an old clock radio I used as an alarm. Not even removing the 9v battery would shut it off in my dream.

Haha you get me. But man, just the battery? I would have eventually smashed it to pieces with my bare hands, blinked, and it’d still be there like nothing had happened at all.
