Dreaming about coins?

Since we're on the topic of psychology and coin collecting, I was wondering if anyone else dreams about coins?
I'll make the embarrasing and perhaps even pathetic admission here that I do in fact quite often dream about coins, usually in the context of finding some sort of hoard or treasure of sorts.
And often, in a waking state, as I frequently walk my dog on a well worn old horse trail, my eyes and imagination scan the rain drenched mud gutters of the trail in the very faint hopes of finding an old buffalo nickel or like treasure....
Maybe it's just my "low T" and the dreams are filling the void of the more primal gutters that would frequently occupy my mind in years past?
Have I really gone off the deep end here?

<< <i>I dreamt I could breathe on coins and tone them. My psychologist sent me to a general practitioner who determined it was halitosis. >>
What kind of GP was he? If he was a coin doctor he might have just been trying to get rid of you Midas breath.
When I picked thriftstores for mid-century modern furniture from 1993-2002, 5 to 10 different ones a day, I used to dream of strange thriftstores in odd parts of town that would appear to yield bonanzas upon walking in the door, only to change into dreck as I approached them. Good times.

A day dream I've had is that I complete a series, am totally happy with it, and move on.

I dreamt that I had gone back in time. This isn't a new occurrence- many of my dreams involve time travel. Anyway, I remember walking into a street where people were gathering for President Lincoln's campaign speech. Of course, as soon as I saw Lincoln, I knew it was a dream, because he looked a lot like Dave Chappelle.
If you'd like, take a moment and realize the implications of President Lincoln looking like Dave Chappelle.
Anyway, while Dave Cha- I mean, Abraham Lincoln- gave his campaign speech, I realized that I was in the 1850s era. Somehow, I connected it with numismatics, and realized that I needed to grab as many Eagles as possible. Then, the weirdest thing happened- I went up to the bank teller, asked him for a roll of Eagles, and when I hoped to find many in top-notch condition, I found out they were all dated "2012." I looked around for smart-phones, hipsters, and an overly outrageous government size, but couldn't find anything.
So, I left the bank, and began asking people for Eagles. All they had were bust halves. I saw one of them and realized that it was in mint condition- simply beautiful. However, I looked at the date in dismay- 1972.
Not quite sure what happened after that, but I do remember drinking with Mary Todd Lincoln at some point. It was probably the closest I'll ever get to drinking with the First Lady-- "in my dreams."
Since then, I strive to eat early and sleep on time, get proper rest and exercise, vary my hobbies a little bit, and so forth.

<< <i>I've dreamed of seeing a Lincoln cent with the mintmark above the date. I've dreamed of yard sales seeing tables full of coins. >>
Happy I'm not alone here. And some great dreams shared! Fun reading too.
Unfortunately last night was spend dreaming about work- which is pretty stressful! I would have much preferred coins, or better yet, as Realone mentioned -"pretty young women". ( as long as we don't have to talk)..
In the absence of that, i think I'll get some much needed stress relief by swimming some pool laps, then head to one of my local B&M shops to rummage through the goodies. Dream on friends!!
