harvesting earth honey

I was leading in the hunt for earth honey, which is formed by intense heat caused by lightening strikes, volcanoes or meteor impacts. In such circumstances, a natural sweetness sometimes found in the earth, in underground streams or in little pockets, is concentrated, away from the blast, and reaches a boiling point, causing little tiny "lava bombs" of honey that boil up out of the hot earth, and then drop, just a few feet away, to form special little lumps. I was able to identify this rare phenomenon, and in my dream, we found some. You could see where the earth had swirled in the heat, and the little pock marks where the honey had popped out, and then, a few feet away, these little mounds. We picked them and ate the sweet earth honey.
