Thread: Are there computers in your dream? How do they work?

Computers are a huge component of my waking life, and I care a lot about them, so they (and electronic devices in general) show up pretty regularly in my dreams.

How they behave depends on the dream. Usually they'll react generally in line with my expectations, though there will frequently be differences from waking life, or other odd quirks or unexpected behavior. In lucid dreams, I have taken advantage of this inexactness from time to time. For instance, I've decided that a few typos in a password prompt or command to execute in a dream are tolerable, and I can usually get away with that, unlike in waking life where a computer would demand 100% correctness.
