Losing your phone
Lost phone, Can't find your phone, Stolen phone
Patting every pocket and finding no phone is one of the most familiar jolts of modern life, so it's no wonder it turns up in dreams. Your phone holds your contacts, your photos, your calendar and a good share of your memory, and losing it can feel like losing your bearings. The dream often comes when you feel disorganized or out of the loop. Yet some people feel an odd relief when the phone is gone, and that's worth noticing: you may be craving a few hours that belong to no one but you.
Dream variations

- Dropping your phone in waterEmotions have washed over your plans for a moment. Sleep on it before you send that reply.
- Your phone being stolenSomeone's demands are eating into your free time. Answer on your schedule, not theirs, for a few days.
