Do you ever have dreams or nightmares about coins?

I had a nightmare that I bought an 1864-L Indian Cent in an auction for something like $23,000, and had no way to pay for it! I was wondering why the heck I had bid. It was pretty scary.

    I've never had any nightmares, but I've dreamt about coins - usually after an intense coin day.

    I believe we sleep mostly to dream, and that dreams are the brains off-line time to sort out new information and make some new synaptic connections, throwing away what is useless information and linking in the new useful information.

    Unless of course you're Captain Pike.

    i had a dream no long ago that i was at the old busch stadium wathcing a baseball game.

    the seat area was a mess with wrappers etc... so i asked for a broom and started sweeping them up.

    in the sweeping there were some old coins so i kept sweeping other areas. i eventually had a pile waist high and

    people were throwing change onto the pile as i swept.

    Every so often I dream that I find a bunch of mule error type coins. Just freaky coins.

    The bad part is waking up.

    Since 1966 I have had the reoccuring dream about "little guys" chasing me through
    the jungle with their ak47s.
    Now i have the same dream, but they only want to steal my "HAIRY HEADS".

    No nightmares about the coins themselves, but had a few where my wife FOUND OUT ABOUT the coins.
    That will keep you from falling back asleep. Think I even yelled at her at breakfast "don't EVER do that again." Poor thing, she didn't know what I was talking about.image

    Strange you should ask. I think about coins and go right to sleep. Lay there thinking about the dates I have and the dates I need. Sort of like counting sheep. When you collect widgets, you don't have nightmares!

    First of all, hi. I'm new here (first post). I've been reading this forum for a couple weeks now (fun and interesting stuff!). Anyway..

    A while back I was practicing lucid dreaming (dreaming and knowing that you are dreaming), and I found my most effective dream sign was to look at change. For those who don't know, a dream sign is something you look for (awake and in dreams) to test if you're dreaming. For some reason when I look at change in my dreams there are always old coins (Mercury dimes, Indian head cents..). Also the dates don't always match the type of coin. When I see stuff like that, PRESTO, I know it's a dream!

    Yeah, I went to the bank and found box after box filled with ANACS PR69 SBA and Sac dollars where real coins should have been.

    When I was a kid, I used to have deams of finding rare coins, and everytime I would pick them up, I would wake-up. Is that a dream or a nightmare?

    The only coin dream I've ever had happened just recently. I only remember it had something to do with $200 an ounce silver (!) and a pile of Edward VII Sovereigns (?). Didn't make much sense to me either.

    No.

    Coins are fun to collect, but dreams? No way!

    Always the same one, just to see the look on Russ's face and to hear him swearing when I make the only 1964 AH in PR69DCAM!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    That's not wierd, I do it all the time. It works and it's fun. I use my watch, or a nearby clock.

    I had a nightmare that for some reason, I bought all of the (hideously ugly) MS 65 Barber Halves I saw at the last show I attended.

    I had one dream after a night of reading the detecting forum:

    in the dream I went down to georgia to meet up with Lordminimacrovan, to get some detecting pointers. after showing me a few tricks, he asked me to start on one end of the field, and he was going to check the other. so I walk down to my end, and start swinging my garrett waiting for a signal...after about 5 mins, I got a real strong signal, so I look over my shoulder, and see rob is digging, so he obviously found something. so I get out my trusty blade, and cut a plug, and when I pull the plug out, low and behold, its a 1794 FHD. I reach down to grab it, but it seems its attached to something, so I pull harder, and up comes an arm attached to it, followed by that oh so familiar hat and face, and rob says: I told you all good finds would be made by me!

    and then i woke upimage

    The other night in a dream I was checking my invoice status, and grades had posted. But something distracted me and I did not get a good look. I was trying and trying to concentrate so I could read the grades.
