They literally do....
In my dreams, I very frequently use my phone to book tickets, check train schedules or itineraries. Usually, though, time is ridiculously tight and/ or the connection keeps breaking down etc.
I have a recurring stress dream about needing to type a message urgently on my phone and the touch screen keyboard not registering any of the right letters.
I miss physical keyboards.
It's similar for me too, but a bit broader. My brain apparently can't convincingly simulate any digital user interfaces. No PC, phone or anything else like that works correctly in my dreams.
It's actually one of the most consistent ways I have to figure out that I am currently dreaming.
The parts of your brain involved in symbolic language are less active when you're asleep, and since interfaces like that are basically all symbols your brain has a hard time understanding any symbols it remembers or making sense of anything it can put together. The part that remembers stuff is still going strong though.
So basically you know what a computer is and how it should work, but you're trying to use an interface you've never used before in a language you don't speak that was designed by a person with uncertain notions about where icons and windows should go or how they move.
In most cases it's easier for the dream to just say "and then you clicked the button to do the thing", like it does with signs and stuff.
Makes a lot of sense.
A few days ago, there was a post about a BlackBerry with an Android OS coming to market.
You can already get a unihertz titan, it is what i'm typing on now. :)
Hey, I’ve seen this one before!
That's always the answer to these posts.
Man that would be crazy. Except it does.
