The mystery of the human psyche: why we almost never dream of smartphones.
The phenomenon was discovered by the famous sleep expert and doctor Kelly Buckley. Recent studies have shown that dreams about smartphones are surprisingly rare—paradoxically rare. After all, in reality most people don't part with them. But for some reason they don't take Morpheus to the kingdom.
The scientist calculated: in 16,000 thousand dreams, plots with smartphones were found in only 3.55% of cases among women and 2.69% of men. In comparison, people are much more likely to dream that they appear naked in public - 12% of the time.
Dr. Buckley himself suspects that the matter is in feelings, which are somehow expressed in dreams. Yes, he believes, smartphones have a presence in everyday life, but from a purely physical point of view, as objects, as means of communication. But emotionally they have almost no meaning.
However, some scientists believe that by presenting dreams, the brain trains us to respond to certain physical dangers that arise in everyday life. In smartphones, the subconscious does not "see" physical threats. So it's not a "mirror".
