Ever have a nightmare about your photography?

January 26th, 2013
I woke up this morning, my heart pounding from a nightmare I was having. I was trying to run away from a tidal wave with my camera equipment and my feet were stuck in the wet sand and I couldn't run. I was trying to convince myself that when the tidal wave hit me I would be able to keep the camera over my head so it wouldn't get wet!

I have had tidal wave dreams before, I don't need Freud to figure out what they are all about, but this was truly the strangest one I have ever had.

Have you had crazy dreams/nightmares concerning your photos/camera? I would love to hear them.

Oh yes... Only too common... I'm at whichever site taking photographs and the shot of a lifetime presents itself and I am all fingers and thumbs trying to turn the camera on, dial in the appropriate settings etc. Finally as the chances of the shot are starting to wane, if I have managed to get everything right or if I go 'full auto', I drop the camera and bust the lens. Heart stopping and sleep depriving moment coming up!

@steampowered For some people (like me) that is all-too-real :)

I constantly have bad dreams about seeing really rare animals in the perfect situation for a photo, and then my camera not working!! It's very frustrating!

I can't recall a nightmare, but ever since I got my camera in July I've had frequent dreams about photography where I wake myself up laughing with joy from getting a really good shot. Seriously, this has been happening on a weekly basis.

Joy.

My nightmare goes like this: I dream that I am a fabulous photographer and then I wake up.
