Smartphone Nightmares. Literally. Ever had one? I have had several dreams in the last few months in which I pulled out my trusty Crackberry, only to find that it had morphed into some odd piece of alien technology and I couldn't figure out the buttons. In the strangest and funniest of these dreams, my smartphone had turned into an odd little Japanese Anime-style Hamster Toy. I would actually love to have one like that...if the interface hadn't been totally impenetrable.→[More:]

I wonder how common these sorts of dreams are, in which one is trying to reach someone in a time of stress, only to find that the necessary tech has turned wierd on them?

No, I can't say that I've ever had a smartphone.

I've had dreams were I can't find my phone- pretty standard anxiety dreams, I think. Nothing like you describe, a dream about trying to work the interface. I'm sure it's coming, though.

I don't recall ever dreaming about phones of any sort.

But with a user manual.

The user manual for the animehamsterphone is not available in any terrestrial languages.

For me it's one of several problems. Constantly dial number wrong. Phone is falling apart. Not my phone and/or not really a phone at all. And it can be any combination as well.
