I don't remember where I heard it, but I do remember hearing that one of the signs you're in a dream is that your phone doesn't work properly. Which leads me into this dream I had recently:
I was asleep, when my phone wakes me up. I don't remember it actually ringing, just thinking "someone is trying to call me," so I answer it and do my best to pretend I wasn't just sleeping. We don't have an actual conversation, like no words are exchanged, but through the inscrutable logic of dreams I ascertain that the caller is an old acquaintance setting me up for a job interview. We hang up and I go back to sleep.
Next thing I know I'm at the mall wondering if this was where my interview was supposed to be. I try to think back on the conversation but I don't remember anything other than being really sleepy. For a moment I suspect that I must have imagined the conversation, maybe it was all just a dream. I don't remember who I'm supposed to meet, where I'm supposed to meet them, or what job I'm supposed to be interviewing for. Then I reason that I wouldn't have come to the mall unless I was supposed to, so I decide to fake it til I make it.
Sure enough, I find my old acquaintance who introduces me to someone I've never met about the job. We start chatting for a bit, and then the job interview turns into a scavenger hunt and I'm sent off into the mall with my prospective employer's shopping list. I wake up before I find out if I got the job.
That fucker never works! Sometimes I conclude it's malware but usually I just try and try and try. UI is messed up. Fingers don't do what I want. Screen is broken. Drives me mad!
