Hello everyone, this is seems like a weird topic. However, about 2 out every 5 of dreams that I can recall after sleeping contain fossils. And almost every time I am disappointed or extremely thankful. In many of my dreams I find fossils that are in abnormal quantity and quality, resulting in disappointment of not actually possessing these fossils. On the other hand, just as frequently, I lose or have my fossils broken or destroyed and am devastated at this, but when I wake up I am relieved. Sometimes I even go back to the collection to see if everything is in place. I am simply pondering whether or not other people share these dreams of fossils, if you have a particular dream of fossils that has relevance in your real life feel free to discuss it.

Not many, but I had one where I found a nice meg tooth along with a few other exciting fossils....woke up and it took me about half an hour to realize (much to my disappointment) that I did not, in actuality, possess them :P

Yes, I've had those, and I hate them. :)

Context is critical.

i dream of a place filled with like minded people who gather from all over the planet, who tell stories of fossil hunts, and display pictures of fossils in a never-ending procession. There is always more to learn and explore in the dream, there are no boundaries. Then I wake up here... :)

Now that I think of this it has happen before. On more than one occasion I have gone through things like time portals and walked around prehistoric animals. Also I have been chased by some, scary...

As a kid I use to have dreams of a creature that looked alot like a T-Rex chasing me thru the city of new york and no matter where i ran to he would alway find me,,,matter of fact he looked more like Godzilla.....LOL....But my worst nightmare was when someone told me I had to go back to high school....I woke up in a panic,,,,much more scarier than any T-Rex or Godzilla if you ask me.

I have had this happen many times. Mostly on trips when I'm away from my family, home, and work. Maybe it's the complete immersion...

Yes... Probably a lot of us have these dreams. Isn't this one of the characteristics of FAS (Fossil Acquisitiveness Syndrome)?

There was another thread a while ago on this topic, probably itself a fossil by now..

Absolutely; I even remember a dream that was of a local spot (That had an outcrop that doesn't exist) and when I woke up was pondering what I needed to get ready to go out and check out the spot before coming to the realization that there was no outcrop where I was thinking. It's too bad, because in my dream I was pulling out killer specimens from this spot.
