Phone virus dream

I was on vacation with my family at a big house and was listening to my Bible Gateway app. I went to change the chapter or close out the app or something and I noticed the whole interface of my phone looked different!
There were all these spyware looking games and fun, colorful ads for more virus infected games. Stuff I had never installed. A lot of them had cutesy looking anime characters for their pictures.
I kept trying to scroll through them all to find my settings tab to get rid of them but the more I would scroll, the more useless games and ads for apps would appear!
It was maddening and I decided I would have to hold down my home button to get to the "close all" option.
I did this and all the crazy virus apps disappeared off my screen and the phone began unlocking all my regular apps I had already purchased and giving me access to them again.
Then I opened up my Bible App again and all of it came right back again! I was so frustrated by now and wondered if this was because I hadn't done a security update on the Bible app for a while.
I decided I would go to settings and manually uninstall all of the virus adware but every time I toggled the settings bar down, it would scroll back up before I could get to the uninstall option.
It even had this weird timer thing in the bottom left corner that was counting down for how long I had left in order to buy one of the advertised games.
I decided I would turn off the internet and restart my phone but it was really hard to try to find the wifi setting to do it. I finally did and then restarted my phone. When the screen came back up I didn't see the adware so turned everything back on but then it all came back!
I knew I needed Adams help and could have called him up from downstairs but instead I buried my face in one of the big, fluffy bed pillows of the bed I was sitting on and scream yelled into it in complete enraged frustration!
Everybody was downstairs having breakfast without me and I was up there dealing with this adware nightmare, missing out!
I was sure nobody would have heard me because of the pillow but Adam came up and asked what was the matter. I finally told him what was going on and that I needed his help to get my phone back to normal.
He looked at it and said, "oh, boy..."
And then I woke up.
