Dreams involving technology often reflect our relationship with the modern world, highlighting our reliance on and interaction with various gadgets and devices. Such dreams can also symbolize the desire for efficiency, connectivity, or the need to adapt to evolving circumstances. The interpretation of a dream involving technology depends on the specific device or technology interacted with, as well as the emotions and actions experienced during the dream.
![I had a dream that I was going on a date with a woman who seemed intensely focused on getting married as quickly as possible. It was as if she wanted to skip over the entire process of genuinely getting to know each other and rush straight into a commitment. In the dream, I found this bizarre and off‑putting, especially because it mirrored what I’ve seen in my waking life—women who seem more fixated on the status of marriage than on actually building a real, mutual connection. It gave me strange, uncomfortable vibes, and I kept thinking, “Why would you do that? That’s just stupid,” as if the outcome mattered more to her than compatibility or authenticity.
During the date, she told me she had a son named Jackson—ironically the same name as my ex-girlfriend’s son. I asked her how she spelled his name, but she cut me off, saying, “I’m telling you a story, let me finish first.” I apologized and let her continue. She explained that all her son does is play video games every day, hanging out with his friends online. As she spoke, I playfully mimed parts of her story, like holding up my hand to show “five times a week,” and she nodded in agreement. She said he has been doing this for years, and I couldn’t help but think how unhealthy that sounded for a developing brain—so much screen time, so little balance.
In my mind, I connected it to what I’ve read about younger generations: how excessive screen use, gaming, and overreliance on technology can contribute to declining attention spans, weaker problem‑solving skills, and even lower measured intelligence in Gen Z compared to previous generations, especially when tech is used as a shortcut instead of a tool for genuine learning. I thought about how some people blame AI and devices for making kids lazier and less challenged, but I also felt that personal choices and how time is spent matter too.[8][9][10]
By the end of the dream, I realized there was no real potential in this connection for me. She remained very fixed on the idea of getting married quickly, as if the relationship itself was secondary. Her attitude seemed to be, “We’ll get to know each other later,” which only reinforced my sense that she wasn’t truly interested in who I was as a person. I walked away feeling clear that, at least for me, that kind of rushed, outcome‑driven approach to love didn’t feel right at all.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/04607a58-ec37-4aeb-a167-de53716e77a6.png)
