    I’ve definitely used my phone in dreams before. People have also said that you can’t read properly in dreams and that’s one way to know you’re dreaming (I was interested in lucid dreaming for a bit), but words look just fine to me when I’m dreaming

      Same. I’ve had phones and text in dreams. Another trigger is supposed to be looking at a clock and it won’t look right but I’ve checked the time in dreams many times.

      Well it really depends. When dreaming you mostly see what you expect to see. I sometimes can read and sometimes can’t.

      I can certainly say that my short term memory in dreams is really bad. It’s like you’re tripping balls on LSD or something. (at least in my experience. It might be different for you)

      When I was around 8 years old, I lost a new issue of Nintendo Power in a Service Merchandise store. That may be the most aged statement I’ve ever made.

      Anyway, this was a very distressing experience for me; my disappointment and loss of hope sticks with me to this day. I vividly remember dreaming about finding it some time after. However, in my dream I recall flipping through the pages only to find garbled nonsense, page after page.

      This was actually more distressing to my confused, young mind. I don’t even try to read in dreams anymore, but maybe I should; it would be a dead giveaway.

      I still miss that issue. It was the Dr. Mario issue for anyone wondering.
