What a HOOT! My dreams...... donuts, frosting......

When I am fast asleep I have dreams about eating all these horribly rich foods.  Then I wake up in a total PANIC hoping I didn't REALLY eat those things!   (When I'm awake those things don't even phase me of course, I'm feeling full all most all of the time.)   Anyway, I am awake now with a HUGE headache over the panic I felt during the night due too, donuts, frosting, crackers and cheese were in the dream too.  Now, somehow my wedding ring was in the dream and it broke........hmmmmm.....I hope THAT didn't have any significance!  I've only been married two years and we are both super happy.....too funny! Just had to share! What are YOUR dreams like since surgery?   Or maybe even before surgery? 

Hey Hon!  I hate the dreams that feel sooo real!  One night (after WLS) I had a dream that DH and I fought (can't remember about what).  It felt so real that when I woke up I was still VERY mad and started to argue with him and he had NO clue what I was talking about!..oooops!  I think it's due to all the hormanal change, ketosis, and things like that because I had all the weird dreams WHILE I was losing .......haven't had the "extreme" dreams in a long while! HUGS!

Hi Lisa Joy.....I don't remember a lot of my dreams. The ones I do remember from after surgery were more about the surgery really not happening....woke up scared about that. I am glad I don't dream about food!! Happy Easter    Hugs, connie d

Too funny!  I don't remember my dreams for the most part....so can't say if I've dreamt about donuts and frosting.  *S*  Isn't it great to not want it after you've thought about it!   On the ring, perhaps you were just thinking about having to have it re-sized.  You will have to!

oh yes, I remember dreaming about all kinds of odd foods.  Things I didn't care for before surgery, were suddenly all I could think about.  For instance, one night I dreamt about grilled ham and cheese, and that's all I could think about for a week.  Yuck, I don't even like grilled ham and cheese!  Pizza showed up a lot in my dreams.  I never ate in my dreams, just that the food was always the central theme.  I went through those dreams when I quit smoking, too. Same thing there, I never smoked in the dream, but I would hold a cig or watch others smoke, and fight the urge to do it.  The food dreams stopped much faster than the cigarette dreams did.  I've chosen to view the dreams as my mind's way of working through cravings, and adjusting to the new habits and cleaning out the old habit garbage.    I've always been a very vivid dreamer, and it is common for me to remember at least one dream a night.  I have even taken off running, literally running, during a dream.  Only to wake up when I hit a wall.  The second time I took off running, hit a wall, woke up but was extremely confused and was confusing the dream with reality, and took off running again, only to end up doing a full flip off a small set of stair into a sunken hallway.  I kicked a picture off the wall, but otherwise was unhurt.  this occured twice when I was about 20, and the instances were about a week apart.  I had other running dreams at that time in my life, and I finally took some time to do a little analysis.  I learned that some themes that are repeated in a dream, can reflect emotional or conscious themes in waking life.  I was in a relationship that needed to end, but I was scared to be alone.  I knew I needed to break up with the guy, but I kept putting it off.  When I finally broke up with him, the dreams stopped.  Now, when I realize that I'm starting to have a series of dreams that have a common theme, or pattern, or occurance, I know that a look at my life and a few corrective actions, may resolve the dreams.       

Those aren't dreams honey - they are NIGHTMARES!!!  You're dreaming food porn...you poor, poor thing!
