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. I struggle to use it in my sleep as your brain isn't very good at being consistent with things like text and such. In dreams I often find my phone malfunctioning or the world starting to fall apart when I try and use it for anything more than taking a photo

I dreamt last night that I used my phone but, likewise, it was for photography.

Had several dreams where I took pictures with famous people just to wake up and be sad that I didn't get to keep the pictures. It was a weird stage thing from "oh it wasn't real, but at least I got a picture" to "oh wait I cannot bring the pictures with me" and being really sad that I cannot.

Imagine what looking at a dream would be like though with an awake mind. In dreams you don't see weird stuff as the common sense part of your brain shuts off, but I am certain, at least in mine, that the dream reality would look like it's AI generated. Nearly there, but not quite. Funnily enough my dreams have had consistent shortcuts (like from two places in my life that are miles apart, but are around a street corner in the dream) and even dreams referencing events in older dreams that I only remember when I'm dreaming... Unless that memory is actually fake as well.

Oh also, I have a radio alarm which could mess with dreams. Once The Archers came on and I dreamed of Philip Moss getting arrested quite vividly, just to realise I could replay the entire audio. It was like replaying a dream. Spooky.
