Why does it have to happen when I'm trying to fall asleep though? I remember everything cringe.

Finally.... it's not my fault anymore

I forget if I flushed the toilet, when I am still washing my hands somehow

This makes so much sense. I'm 33 and I always have such an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and "better times" feels when I listen to my 90s/00s playlists.

Omgosh! I do this too much, my accent changes. And sometimes people think I'm mocking them, but I'm not.

I absolutely do this, consciously- I am aware that distractions can be a danger and I WANT TO DRIVE SAFELY. Please don't be reckless with your life and that of others.

There is no such dilemma when you eat the whole pizza by yourself!! :D

How is me holding the door open for others trying to use less energy doing things.

This is written in kind of a confusing way, I get the gist of it though because I love brainstorming most any problem…Except math and politics.

Isn't this contradicting the other statement that was made about being lazy??

Where is she getting this information?? That's totally not true!

Nice spin about the intelligence, though it can just be a sign of being overworked, under a stress or in a new situation (take pregnant mothers or grieving people).

"suffer from it" makes it sound a lost worse than it is.

I think that goes both ways.... Sometimes long texts are meaningless, repetitive, and time wasting

And you can indicate disinterest to your babbling colleague by turning your feet away from them though keeping your face looking at them. Makes them end the conversation faster.

It's also a symptom of add/adhd.

Not true... I have seen it multiple times in my dreams!

This is nonsense as there are people around who have grown up knowing smartphones, and their brain isn't any older than they are.

Where are they getting this BS from?

Total bull. I can not only see but also use smartphones in my dreams. I generally have trouble reading in dreams since the text is usually blurry and keeps changing on me, but it's not impossible.

This is way out there.

I have a recurring dream that I'm unable to use my device because I keep putting in one wrong number. Like I compulsively enter one number wrong and can't make the call. It's a frustrating dream.

Not true, but what is true is that you can't read much text in dreams - the brain can't formulate a lot of text within dreams. you somehow get the info of the text, but if you're reading a book or something and try to focus on the words, you'll notice most of them are squiggly lines. Your brain is also not great with mirrors: if you stare at yourself in a mirror in a dream, you'll see that the brain can't quite form your face accurately. Train yourself to notice this when you're awake and you'll become aware in dreams that you're dreaming. First few times you'll probably wake up, but after awhile you'll be able to practice lucid dreaming. Another thing is light level: your brain can't change light levels in dreams (though it can tell you if it's dark or light), so flip a light switch whenever you enter a room. If it makes no difference, you become aware you're dreaming.

Maybe WAS true some years ago. I still haven't seen any ... don't have one.

Our brains have gotten used to them way too much.

What the hell?? OF COURSE YOU CAN!

I've also never seen a flint knife in my dreams

They also say that about not being able to read during dreams. But I've had several dreams where I read, and it with no effort

I forget numbers in my dreams. Even those I know best.

bruh I've seen PS5 multiple times in my dream, i don't even have PS5

I just got into a dream state argument last night over an excessive charge to replace a glass screen. “Research suggests” is highly overused in this mostly psychobabble article.

I can read texts on my phone but I can't send anything either which is perfect. I just ignore them and it makes my dreaming more relaxing

I tried reading my maps app in a dream and the phone started sprouting mung beans

Agreed. I can even dream i took the phone from the living room and put it in another room, so this one is busted to hell.

I actually never have my phone in my dream. I've seen my laptop and used it - I've even had dreams about forgetting a mask during the pandemic... but not once can I remember a phone.

That depends on just how "new" the object is. I once had a phone conversation with someone while completely asleep. He only knew something was wrong when he asked me if I'd had my car repaired yet (and he asked twice!) and the wreck had only happened a week prior to the conversation. When he asked the question I just didn't speak at all. Some time later I saw him in person and he mentioned the conversation - NONE of which I remembered! - and how I stopped talking whenever he asked about my car.

I just had a dream lastnight about me buying a new iPhone. So ... not true.

I do think this is an age thing. I have had a smartphone for years and worked with computers for 25 years but have never dreamt of one. I do however dream about the games I play on it but more around how to solve levels (usually a stress dreaming) but never via a screen. I can imagine anyone that grew up with them, it's just part of their childhood and now adult life so they are incorporated into the dream world.

I mean not true but this explains why no one wears a mask in my dreams

Interesting concept.

Or maybe they just want to park closer to the shop
