I have recurring dreams about getting lost and all kinds of frustrating things that go wrong trying to get unlost. In the past, if I tried to make a phone call in the dream, I wouldn’t be able to find the phone number, or I’d misdial, or the phone would be dead, or something similar. Within the past 15 years, my dreams have gone cellular. Now I try to use my cell phone, and either I’ve lost it or the battery is dead.

Any one else dream about their cell phone? What happens?
