Why is typing anything in a dream so hard?

So I had an unusually long dream today and
towards the end, I received a message on my phone, but it immediately went away. I tried using the phone to respond to it, but it was glitching etc. Later I decided to text a friend to ask about it and the letters on the keyboard were all messed up and it felt like texting while really drunk. Every word looked like gibberish and autocorrect would mess up the words even more. It was really frustrating, has that happened to anyone else?

Had a dream last night that my best friend blew me and I am shook.

In the dream he was drunk and I was drunk and my other friend wanted to open a door. My best friend blew my dick outta nowhere and I was very very very fine with it. I don't know what to do now, if I should ever bring this up in a conversation because this feels funny and fucking weird and I honestly might delete this post just in case he figures out my reddit account hahaha.

Just woke up feeling so guilty :(

Such a bad dream. I was at the river, there was an event going on with a ton of people. A kid came up to me and showed me their guinea pig, which I played with for a while. Then I had to leave and the kid traded for their pet tarantula. As I held it, I just thought it was the cutest thing ever. When I got home I put it in the aquarium (where another tarantula lived but for some reason I thought my bf had let it out to wander around? Idk). Then I realized both tarantulas were now in the aquarium and I felt a sudden panic, cause I knew my bf's tarantula was hungry. Before I could save the new spider the other one was doing her happy dance (that she does after she eats) and she attacked. I watched in horror as she killed the other one. They didnt even fight, she just pounced and sunk her fangs into it :( at one point they were both wandering around and I was like oh thank god, I gotta get it out. Then it was as if she had dialogue and I could hear her say, I thought I killed you, and knock the other one down and "stab" it with her fangs. I just thinking omg I'm gonna have to replace this kids spider.

Anyway then I woke up feeling horrible and uneasy. There was more to the dream, including a large man stealing a lot of stuff from the people at the river, and when I told him "fuck you" he said a really funny comeback about me not being fuckable. I wish I could remember it exactly.

Thanks for reading, just wanted to jot this down lol

How to handle the loss of my dreamed-up son?

Had a very vivid dream last night. At one point in the dream, I had a son called Ezra but I asked a friend's mum to look after him (uni classes). Came back later and friend's mum now believes she will have Ezra permanently and she wouldn't even speak to me. I was distraught. That and being angry at the circumstances of Ezra's birth (I'm a Lesbian, got blackout drunk, Emmy (friend) didn't stay with me and some guy got me pregnant at 19). There was way more to the dream than this.

I've woken up now but I still feel the loss of my dreamed up/fictional son. I don't know what to do? Do I just forget about it?

Today I had a dream where i was fingering a polar bear. And im kinda confused.

So i dont remember the whole dream. I just remember the part where a life-size polar bear enters my grandmas bedroom(for some reason me and a friend where there) and its kinda pissed off, about to eat me. I start panicking and upsetting the bear even more. Then my friend calmly tells me to ,, just finger it". The the bear lied down assuming the position of the missionarie bottom. So i just started fingering the bear, and it god damn tight, like i can hardly put my finger in. after a few minutes i start backing away and and the bear starts getting aggressive. The fear makes me start the action again. Then i just woke up.
