Whenever computers appear in my dreams, I can't work the interface properly. Like, the mouse-keyboard-screen connection never works right. Do other people experience this? And is there some kind of cognitive reason why this would be so? (I also finding reading v. hard in dreams.)
(My three working theories are: a) this reflects some deeply Freudian relationship with my computer, b) maybe some part of my brain that is needed for this to work isn't playing nice in dreaming, and c) maybe my brain just can't simulate a computer very realistically)
If it makes you feel any better, your computer can’t simulate your brain very realistically, either.
I frequently have dreams boring enough that I wake to escape them. Some involve spreadsheets: I'm working them fine, but anxious over the contents. I hypothesise that some or many *particular dreams* don't handle "if... then... else" logic.
I've also dreamt lines of (Pascal) code, woken, written them down, and found in the morning that they work. OK, I'm weird...
d) It's a faithful model of how most computers actually are ?
It's not computers in particular. It's written info. I had the same issue with books and signs in my dreams, well before we had computers.
You are wrestling with some aspect of control in your life. Probably not related to computer at all. Although it could be related to your work.
When you dream [warning, not a neural scientist] several parts of your brain are offline. One of these parts processes causality, and another is the part that handles written text. It's why light switches typically don't work in dreams - I imagine computers might be similar.
The computer represents something you feel like you are incompetent at or that isn’t working right in your life? May not really be about a literal computer at all
I think like the others say, it represents a 'disconnect', hesitation or a concern IRL. I feel pretty confident in saying our brains puzzle over issues when we sleep, some just rise up from the broth clearly enough to access those portions of... braining
I've experienced that too and wondered about it. In my case, it's usually Google or Maps won't work right for me. I assume it's (c), my brain can't simulate a computer. I've also read that you can tell if something is a dream because light switches don't work correctly.
