I just had a weird tech related dream so I thought I might start a thread so we can all post our dreams.

Please remember Neowin has forum rules.

I dreamed that at Mobile World Congress HTC released a followup to the Desire Z strangely named "Desire". It looked almost exactly like the Desire Z but the specs were better internally in every way shape and form and it either ran 4.0 or 4.1, I woke up when I was going to look at it online (in my dream) :laugh:

What dreams have you had?

:huh: That is such a strange dream. Can't say I've ever had a tech dream. Guess I'm not quite as nerdy as I thought. :p

For the past 2 weeks, almost every night I have dream't about tornadoes. For about 5-10 minutes tornado weather rolls in, I am usually with people and pondering what to do/where to go. Then at some point, a tornado will touch down, usually within 100 feet of me. At that point we run/scramble to find shelter, stuff starts flying, and I wake up. I always wake up when s**t starts hitting the fan, lol.

I'm assuming it is because of the weather here lately. Lots of 20-60MPH wind, stuff blowing around, tornado watches, and sirens the past 2 weeks. Honestly, I have never been afraid of tornadoes before in my life, but these dreams are subsequently making me scared of these. Didn't know dreams could have that effect.

My dreams always tend to have an underlying basis on recent or current events within my life (as I assume most peoples do). And I somehow end up naked in my dreams at least twice a week. :rofl:

I very rarely remember my dreams when I wake up. The ones I do remember usually involve my dad dying in different ways. The first one I ever remember I was probably 11 or 12 and dreamed he was drowning and I couldn't save him. He passed away in 2008 from melanoma but I still have those dreams.

Since dreams effect your brain its natural.

Sorry, must really be bothering waking up to that.

I always have family, or people orientated dreams. They are almost always "possible" and never involve things that couldn't happen, like Dragons / Aliens / Magic etc....

Although I sometimes breath underwater and run fast and get shot, I think that I have pretty normal dreams.

My dream last night was that my dad, my sister and I was moving house and we'd found a really nice 5 bedroom with en-suites for everyone. The garden had a pool too. It was set "today", rather than when I was little.

The only thing odd about this, is that I haven't lived with my dad for 15 years. So why would I dream about it? If dreams are for processing information, why would I need to process this? :-)

I've been playing some minecraft lately, so naturally I continue to build sh** in my dreams. Also one re-occurring dream theme is running from and killing some giger type aliens. Another re-occurring one is jumping/floating really high while running some where.

Lately don't remember any at all. Which is kind of good.

Repeatedly used to have ones that my legs give out, but I continue to go, making myself look stupid. And the weirdest probably was laying on the stone floor, arms wide open, burning alive, but feeling no pain whatsoever, comfort even.

^ Your beliefs block your dreams ;)

Time is simultaneous. You may be absorbing, analyzing, accepting emotional realities, from any point in your life -- or even another life.

I've had some tech dreams -- many involved somehow meeting other Neowin members. Odd.

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
