Dreams (Or Nightmares) šŸ‘»

Anybody else occasionally have dreams involving collecting Pokemon? I woke up two hours early after a dream about finding cards from Trainer Deck A and B in my grandparent’s bread box! They were pretty funky looking. I recall the Blastoise had a front boarder of the same color and design as the Machamp back ground. The worse part was they were raw and stored improperly. It got me riled up for a few hours. Thankfully it’s time to get ready for work and I’m exhausted. Cheers :sob:

I’m one of those weirdos who apparently dreams but has only remembered one. I would give my bald teeth to just recall dreams.
Because of that deficiency, I love to hear about other people’s dreams. Kind of feels like I’m reliving somebody else’s.

Here’s the story on the one I did remember:

I was just a little kid…maybe 10? I saw a lizard run behind a barn. I went running after it but when I turned the corner a big alligator was staring up at me. That’s it. All my years of sleeping produced one 5 second dream:(

I dream about getting that Espeon Gold star every night and sometimes finding sealed wotc booster packs and boxes just chilling in a friends house and I ask about them and they say sure just take them . I also have that from time to time where I either don’t dream and just sleep or I don’t remember them @garyis2000,

For a while there I was having some heavy duty pokemon card collecting dreams. Usually I’d find unopened Legenday Collection booster boxes or unopened base packs and have a grand old time opening all of them. Of course, the cards were always a little off. A few months ago I had a dream where I got a Burned Tower trophy card. This was just after seeing the card for the first time and falling in love with it, but thinking for some reason I’d probably never own one. Happy to say that I sent my very own (and very real) copy to PSA yesterday morning! Dreams do come true!!! Well, sometimes.

I think I’ve had dreams involving Pokemon for like 15 years lol. It usually involves me in a scenario where I stumble upon old (or, when I was a kid, modern) booster packs for $1 each. The nightmare happens when the place is cash only and I have no cash on me!

I had this great & incredibly vivid dream about 5years ago- was at a market close to my house, people selling oldSchoolstuff etc. Was about to head home when i hit a wheelbarrow FILLED with oldschoolsealedStuff, full mastersets, boosterboxes etc. Somehow people skipped on it -guy told me he sold nothing at all when i showed interest &he was prepared to sell everything @once, threw 1k cash at him & i was the proud owner of all them goodies;

All good &well but then the shitstorm started;

-first off i called my friend to help me ship all them cards & get them save @ home- you gotta realize the wheelbarrow was so filled with expensive stuff that you almost couldnt move it without stuff falling off. Also; people around me suddenly started showing a lot of interest… so i already started to get a bit anxious- had to move the stuff about a KM home ā€˜the safe place’ -lived alongside a long road next to a river

-friend arrived, we crossed the bridge to get on the main road heading to my home. Friend was so drunk/messy we lost about 25% of the stuff while crossing the bridge- got salty but at least i still scored biggest hit of my life

-just so you can realize the pain i felt; that 25% was already about +/-35 boosterboxes, 12master sets & 60sealedJapanseVSstuff

-we passed by a snackbar, people standingOutsideBeing drunk making fun of us & PokĆ©mon stuff-drunk friend gets pissed, fucks over by yellin’ @them, they go on a stampede & destroy another 63% due to messyFightStuff.

After that drunk friend recognizes other drunk friends, they make up & leave me to drink more booze- i have another 750meters left to go

-ofcourse the weather starts fucking up &storm hits the wheelbarrow taking care of another 11% of the collection by blowing it into the river next to the road

-Finally get home, still fucking happy because i saved THE 3boosterboxes i needed; and that 1% of the collection still was a bigbigScore for 1k- so i was Superhappy and stored it up with the rest of the collection;

And then i woke up. :slightly_frowning_face:

Still subconsiously count these3boxes as an addition to my real life collection when i go through all my stored stuff; Just to realize it was a dream & be dissapointed het again.

You have my dreams locked up in a safety deposit box :rofl:

I actually had a dream a few days ago that’s decently vivid. As most dreams, it was weird and made no sense whatsoever, but it was nice.

I was in a class taking some kind of test. For every question I got right, I got to open a door on one of those chocolate Christmas calendars. Well, somehow 2 of my ā€œdoorsā€ fit several booster boxes and tons of booster packs in them. I remember seeing mostly old stuff like base set through fossil, some new stuff like ultra shiny gx, and some other sets that literally do not exist. The dream went on for a while longer, but as I was finally about to open some stuff with some random old guy in his home, I woke up.

I gotta open that shit earlier next time. Regrets were made… Although now that I think about it, the packs probably would’ve been more random than those fake Chinese ones.

It was pretty awesome reading the stories involved in everyone’s respective dreams! Very good and creative thread OP! I have had multiple pokemon dreams in the year and 7 months I’ve been collecting again, unfortunately none of which I can remember any details of any of them… i do know they have all been very plesant and upon awakening left me feeling excited and going ā€œman that was freaking sweet, if only it would have been realā€¦ā€

And a common theme noticed here amongst us dreamers: sealed product! Wonder what’s with that? Interesting stuff! Rock on everyone, keep on dreamin’

My most frustrating dreams are dreams where I finally obtain some long sought-after object, let’s imagine a really rare card, and I obtain it in the dream, and I cling on to it as much as possible, and then wake up, and still feel the pressure of the object in my hand, but when I hopen it nothing is there :sob:

Oh man, I used to have the same recurring Pokemon Card dream when I used to work at a book store.

It would always be pretty much the same. A pallet of stock would arrive at our store from a liquidated business. Turns out they were old booster boxes, like Neo Destiny and Legendary Collection. My boss assumed it was all useless in a book store, and that I could have the lot. I’d proceed to tear through the boxes in my car like the sweaty ape that I am. I used to have the dream so much that by the time the pallet rocked up, I knew I was dreaming. Would still proceed to bust packs regardless lmao.
