Well then, that was bizarre :/

Wuz up, all?

I had the weirdest dream last night and has confused me all day.

My dream had me at a coin show (yay). I was looking around the tables and came across one that had some Roman oil lamps. I decided that I would buy one.

I come home and admire the lamp. I then proceed to eat it. After devouring it, I immediately regret what I did.

I then go back to the show to try and find the dealer. That's when I wake up.

Yikes! lol I have no idea what to think. Any ideas on the insanity that is Erin's subconscious?



This one is safe, don't worry!

Have you guys ever had dreams about coins or artifacts?

Well, I've never dreamed about eating my coins, but yes, I have had a few dreams featuring coins. Usually the dream is just me finding a bunch of coins (sometimes ordinary pocket change, sometimes foreign coins) lying on the ground, and trying to stuff my pockets with as many coins as possible. Once I dreamed I was looking through a shoebox of weird coins- lots of very strange shapes, with inscriptions in languages I didn't recognize. I've also had dreams that featured fossil-hunting and bird-watching. Guess my subconscious brain wants to enjoy my hobbies just as much as my conscious mind

 

That's fascinating, Erin... I'm glad you didn't wake up to find a bite out of one of your lamps or a gritty taste in your mouth. I haven't dreamt about coins or artifacts... Yet...

 

Mmmmm, peanut brittle oil lamps are awesome!

I have dreamed about finding ancient coins either one or two or a whole hoard many times. Bummer to wake up and realize it was a dream.

I've had coin dreams before, usually after I spend all day sorting through uncleaned hoards trying to make heads or tails of the coins, pulling out all of the FEL TEMP REPARATIO types. Then I see FTR in my brain and it will just not go away. Ha ha

 

..perhaps the dreams means that you will be a consumer of ancients lamps some time in the future...

 

I have a 1998 Canadian nickel, will that do?

Unfortunately, there are quite a few people that think I’m an idiot because what I have must be ‘fake’ and it’s a huge waste of money. They seem to try and convince me of it. My dad has slowly come around. But, my mom is really mad that I influenced my brother to join me.

I haven’t regretted a single cent I’ve spent on ancient coins and I never will. This is a hobby I consider myself very blessed to be a part of.

The oil lamp in the op was generously sent to me by @Stevearino and I think it’s totally awesome. It even inspired my brother to get his own.

I told my brother about it and I’m not allowed near his lamp, lol.

i could fly when i was very young in my dreams, but when i had doubts, i would start to falter towards the earth and high wires..but once grounded, i never was able to fly again.. i do miss that lucidity..

 

How funny-- I've had that same dream many times and it is awesome!! To achieve flight (or hover, really) I jump up and flap my arms rapidly. I have to do it a few times in the dream, like yanking the lawnmower chain or kickstarting a motorcycle, but then I'm off and hovering, arm flapping no longer required. A mere change in body position or wave of an arm will propel me or turn me. The feeling was so familiar and it finally dawned on me that in the dream it felt like achieving neutral buoyancy when scuba diving.

Anyway, in that hover dream there is a catch: I'm also invisible. The deal is that I am offered the ability to hover/fly but the tradeoff is that I will be forever invisible. I have 24 hours to decide and spend the time doing as many ordinary activities as I can to see if I want to stay that way forever. The dream always ends before I've decided.

Once I had a dream in which I could really fly-- soar like Superman-- and it was incredible! I was flying above a lake, taking big swooping dives, feeling the increase in g-force during turns, cool wind in my face... it was utterly exhilarating. When I woke it took almost a day to lose the feeling and to realize I hadn't really flown. It felt so real that to this day I feel like I really have had the experience .

 

..that was the magic of it for me too...

 

You’re not insane, Erin! Your dream is not so far fetched. I wouldn't recommend eating pre-fired terracotta clay but there are cultures who eat kaolin (pipe clay). I'm not sure why other than the possibility that their bodies must crave the minerals.

 

Well, that was fun to read. I know I have had dreams about coins, but I don't really remember what they were now.

These pictures show common themes in many of my dreams. I'll leave the interpretation up to you, I couldn't really explain them much better than these pics do anyway.
