 Is this true? https://image.nostr.build/bac83d7648655e6567fa40e43a242ac4cc4fd5d1eac2bac09c2ad9d59bf913eb.jpg  
 I think it depends. I've had my phone in my dream but the way it operated never made sense. 
 Interesting 🤔 
 Interesting 🤔 
 True for me so far (that I recall) 
 That’s spooky if true 🤯👀 
 🤯🤯🤯 true if big 
 i read this a while ago while preparing for @Conspiracy Dimensions 
A set of researchers found out that almost 3.5 per cent of women dream about mobile phones and a mere 2.6 per cent of men dream about it too. It is not a huge number clearly, but most people see lesser new innovations like mobiles, computers, aeroplanes in their dreams. 
 Fascinating 🧐 
 Maybe it's because our phones and dreams are both virtual, and so we only dream of physical things.  Maybe the phone and the dream are the same thing, extensions of our imagination 🤔 
 I write my dreams down every morning and I have never had a dream with a cell phone it. That's crazy to think about. OMG. 
 I've dreamt of sending signal messages from my laptop 
 That's why we need neuralink! Let's plug in and find out! 
 Yeah no cell phones in my dreams. It'll appear in meditation though. the mental habit of scrolling... 
 when i remenber seeing text in my dreams its always some random characters like ascii that changes whenever i start thinking that i can focus on a word 
 Meeee too 
 Fuck, I don't remember ever seing one 
 On the other hand I don't remember much of my dreams 
 If true,It might be that the phone isn’t the thing being experienced. 

For example I’ve had a period where I literally dreamed about league of legends because I was playing it so much, but I didn’t dream about my computer or my keyboard and mouse, I dreamt about the game.

It might be that the phone is just the window to the actual experience, so we don’t reference it in our minds as the phone, we reference it as “that asshole who said this,” or “that crazy video”, etc.

(I also have no memory of ever dreaming about my phone for what it’s worth) 
 I've never had a dream in which a phone, TV, computer, or stereo existed. I've had dreams of lots and lots of houses.🤔 
 I never thought about this.  I don't recal having any electronics in my dreams... weird. 
 Could it be that during sleep the brain avoid dreaming about any addictive things?
