NelsonFL Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm not proud to admit it, but I do occasionally dream about fossils. I had one a few weeks ago where I was about to hop down into a creek, but then someone in a uniform told me the creek was closed and I had to leave. Creeks don't close!?! I could see like a 9" meg in the water!! I think I was about to shank the guy in the liver, but then I woke up...in a really bad mood. The other was last night. There was some holes being dug outside where I worked. At the bottom of the hole where big weird shark teeth, perfect arrowheads, and huge mammal teeth. No one got shanked this time, gooooood dream. So am I the only one or should I see a doctor? Or maybe I'm not the only one and we should still all see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vordigern Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 many times my friend, many times I think it happens most often at the end of winter when Im really getting antsy about the start of the hunting season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkbiteinc Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Not only do I dream about them...but many nights I have trouble getting to sleep because I am thinking over my next hunt excursion! It is an addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 no, i always dream about giant paleopredators chasing me and trying to collect my teeth and bones and such. but then i whip around with a pump-up sprayer full of vinac in acetone and let 'em have it and they freeze in their tracks, polymerized into passivity. then i put them on online auctions and order another lambo with custom rims spoked with meg teeth, just to make tj jealous...

fossil26 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 So am I the only one or should I see a doctor? Or maybe I'm not the only one and we should still all see a doctor. I think we should all see a doctor I dream about digging for fossil quite often. Especially during marathon digging. Dig for 8 hour, eat dinner and look for shark teeth in my salad ( good thing I have never found one ) sleep and dream about digging for 7 or 8 hours. As long as my actual digging finds are as great as my dreaming ones I'm happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Haha, I've had a recurring dream, though not recently, where I'm wandering alone through hills of gravel pulling impossibly large foot-long shark teeth and bones of all variety out of the ground. It's always the worst feeling waking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertman Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have to admit I frequently dream about collecting, usually in some remote and beautiful location. Most of the time I dream about finding places to collect fossils. I enjoy the hunt as much or more than I enjoy the finding and the posession, so I guess that is why I have that dream.

Coco Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi, A night, I dreamed that I was at table, and that I was going to eat a soup with sea urchins Scutella (which look like sand dollars)...

Kosmoceras Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yes! Every so often I do... ... one time I found a fossil bird feather! ... another time I was opening a fossil package! (which was going to arrive soon! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I often dream about finding great fossils at a site I have just collected. A pocket of crinoids at a Cinci cut, a hadrosaur jaw at Big Brook or maybe a complete mosasaur here in texas. Sort of what-if dreams. Unfortunately they all fall into the realm of being frustrating and not fulfilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthdog Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 After diving, if I take a nap and remember it, it is almost always of me swimming along scanning the bottom for teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
