Be me, dreaming.
Look up at phone.
Phone says I’m 4 hours late for work.
Wake up
It’s 2 in the morning and I have 5 hours of sleep remaining.
Reading is hard in dreams and Mirrors/Displays turn into portals. It’s fascinating how similar it is to nerfs when they reconstruct reflections/mirrors and stable Diffusion when it writes “text”.
Mobile phones haven’t been around long enough to be a part of the Dreamlands, wait a couple of decades, maybe a powerful Dreamer introduces them.
Patch 1.2: Added mobile phones to Dreamlands
I did!
Not gonna tell you what I did though
Ordered takeout?

Alarm goes of in the morning. Someone is calling me. I pick up my phone to answer the call. Start speaking but the phone is still ringing. I hit the button again and again but it isn’t working. I wake up, with the alarm still going off next to me.
I have an infrequently recurring dream where I’m running late for work and I call in to say I’ll be late, and then I blink and hours have passed and I’m freaking out because apparently I was in a fugue state and I call in to work again to try and update them and the whole cycle repeats until I finally wake up.
You need a new job.
I have a recurring dream where I have trouble typing into my phone keyboard. Whatever I do, the text just won’t get in there. Sometimes it’s urgent. Other times I’m trying to show someone something and they’re watching me fail.
Same here! It’s insanely frustrating!
Yeah, the phone never works right in my dreams and I’m always very frustrated 😅
Your brain doesn’t have enough VRAM to keep the simulation humming when it comes to generating accurate text and numbers
That’s your cue to lucid dream and start flying
Ha! My phone was in my dream just last night. I was stuck on the home screen. I could swipe to other screens, but, it bounced back to home screen. Restart, same problem. Funny to see this post today.
I have a recurring nightmare where something awful has happened and I can’t get my phone to work to call for help. It just doesn’t work the way it is supposed to, or there’s a glitch, or I forgot how to use it. It is oddly horrifying.
I dream a lot about car related stuff. Accidents, getting lost, losing the car.
I don’t ever have any of that happen IRL.
But yeah, never my phone, maybe once or twice a pc
I’m a school bus driver and I constantly dream about fucking up hard at work, like hitting cars, running over children and whatnot. There’s always a couple of minutes first thing every morning when I wake up where I sit and think about what else I’m going to do for a living before I realize it was just a dream.
I’ve had dreams that are just me lying in bed scrolling on my phone. They feel 100% real until I wake up and realise the content I was looking at was unintelligible

I have constant dreams behind the dashboard of an Airbus A320neo. It’s been a solid week of the same dream. The autopilot isn’t working so I have to manually do calculations of banking angles and then time it with my flight plan that I have no idea how to type into the flight computer.
I’m not a pilot at all. Help
Play Flight Sim to get it out of your system.
Alternatively, stop playing Flight Sim to get it out of your system.
Fuck it, fly into the 3rd tower to get it outta your system!
I flew a cirrus vision jet into my work building and it was very therapeutic.
Seems like u are one now, follow ur dreams bud
I had a dream a while back which I was recording an old CRT TV that was way too high to comfortably view and a friend of mine somehow grabbing a bag of what I’d presume was fairy floss from inside an empty cabinet. The phone worked pretty much the same as it does irl, and one of my teachers walked by and I got scared and hid my phone behind my jacket in fear of it getting confiscated, probably the most interesting one I’ve had in a while.
I dreamt I broke my new phone the other night and woke up sad untill I checked my phone, I got a Motorola flip phone and my last 2 Samsung flips broke so I guess I’m more paranoid about breaking it than I thought.
I’ve had entire dreams in the command line, which was fairly incredible to me at the time because I still couldn’t read the characters consistently, and was only taken aback at the strangeness of such after the fact. I had a sense of what the commands meant and I knew what I was doing (hacking the planet), but while I couldn’t read it I knew what the output felt like. Dreams are weird.
I have quite literally dreamed about running neo/fastfetch 😭
I think your brain spends more time focusing on the output of reading rather than the process of reading. So your dreams skip over that process and jump straight to the comprehension.
Thank you for posting this, this is the first thing I thought of when this was brought up.
I also think I’ve never seen legible text in a dream. This “i know it’s text but can’t really read it” sounds a lot like the issues AI image generators have.
The rise of AI made me rethink many things about consciousness. It seem like our internal image generators and text generators are separate from “us” as in the “core personality”.
not being able to read was how batman realized he was in a induced dream state by the scarecrow in TAS. I’m pretty sure I’ve been able to read in dreams before but apparently it is a thing.
I’ve had this same feeling. Stable diffusion really got me.
It is possible to see legible text in a dream or at least to think that you do, but it’s difficult to keep it in place. It changes at the speed of thought…
You reminded me of when I was cramming for CCNA like 10 years ago, and had a really bad cold for which I was given Codeine.
My girlfriend at the time told me that I was rambling about “spanning tree” in my sleep.
Years back, when I was working helpdesk and was on overtime, I traveled to visit my long-distance girlfriend. The first night, I was so tired that I quickly fell asleep. Apparently, in my sleep, I kept asking her for her username so that I could log the ticket.
