I did a search and it has been about 3-4 years since this topic was discussed. Given what happened to me the other night, I thought it was a good time to pose the question again. Have you ever had dreams (or nightmares) related to coins? If so, what are they about? Here is what I remember: I had a dream the other night that my wife, kids and I went to the grocery store. My son points out that a new coin shop has opened up next to the grocery store. We tell my wife and daughter that we are going to check it out and will catch up with them later. As my son and I walk towards the new coin shop, I get a sense of impending doom and dread. We enter the coin shop and the proprietor has his back turned to us but asks if there are any coins we would like to see. I sort of recognize the voice but cannot place it. However, I get a sense that this individual is dangerous and this is not a safe place. He turns around to reveal that he has the head of Mike M. (the tall skinny guy from HSN) and the body of Alan S. (the short heavy guy from HSN). We both scream for help and run back out of the door. Next thing I know I wake up with an intense feeling of terror and panic. I do not buy coins from HSN but do watch every once in a while to see the coins. My wife says it means that I am spending too much money on coins. I think it means I had a little too much tequila that night. Regardless, there is no more HSN for a while for me. TC
I think you will do your self a favor by eliminating that channel!! HSN is A overpriced "Candy Store" for the coin collector!!
Most of mine involve finding gold coins in the coinstar reject bin or searching halves. The only problem is when I go to look for them in my collection. Kinda depressing when the dreams seem so real.
I have had some before I got interested in coins, usually it was getting weird change from the store for a purchase, seven or eight dollar bills, 17 cent coins, with foreign writing and strange persons on them, not necessarily those denominations but you get the idea, since I have been interested in coins have not had those dreams. I think it was from the feeling that people are "making it up" as they go along, and that it was a cheat and a swindle being foisted off on me.
I usually only have "good" dreams about coins. The last one involved getting a 1931-S Lincoln in my change at a local grocery store. Of course in real life I may get a 1958-D at best.
The only one I remember well was me telling my brother all about coins. I was showing him my empty SLQ album, and explaining to him why the 1916 hole would probably remain empty, lol. My coin dreams are usually not very eventfull. But much more pleasent than the other dreams I usually have.
Ach, TC, mein old friend. Come lie down and tell it all to the Dr. Das wife is correct. You have been spending too much time collecting and are now harboring repressed feelings of guilt which manifest themselves in the form of those two HSN schlocks. You must now somehow try to disassociate those two Hinneys from collecting and coin shops in general. I recommend the following: Take one trip to the local coin shop and call me in the morning. In the meantime, HSN es verbotten..... PS: Mein bill is in the mail......
I am not that lucky in my life to have a golden goose lay an egg before me (even in a dream) HOWEVER, I am lucky to have a wife that loves me, a baby on the way, a roof over my head and a cutest golden retriever possible. I don't have the luxury to afford rare coins or have the nicest of vehicles or own the biggest house. As much as I would like to it's more important it's the little things in life, that is the biggest treasures.. -Shrek
That is one thing that always interests me. Dreams. I never remember dreams. Sometimes when I first wake up, for about a few seconds, I remember what I was dreaming but then withing seconds it is gone. In my intire life I can't remember any dreams at all. Oddly enough most people I've talked to say basically the same thing. Coins, cars, guns, etc all all part of my waking life and yet never a dream about any of them.
