My Phantom Cellphone Experience.

This morning while I was floating between the sleeping and waking worlds, I could have sworn my cellphone was in my hand. It seemed to jump back and forth, from left hand to right. I knew that it wasn't there, but it got me thinking.. A while back I had read an article about how the brain incorporates the tools we use into it's overall body image, and being that a cellphone is a tool that we use.. What I experienced could be similar to the "Phantom Limb" experience.

Just a thought.

[EDIT] Forgot about these..
