A common dream theme for me is inability to operate a smartphone. The apps will lag or disappear. I'll tap on the wrong items and mistype words. It is a very 2021 interpretation on the "running late" dream trope.
That's a common reality for many. It's the reason I always buy the expensive flagship phone for my wife and myself. Lagging and disappearing apps (and hanging and/or rebooting during phone calls) is a constant occurrence on underpowered smartphones. Had such a phone once, and it did a "death through thousand papercuts" number on my psyche. Never again.
