How Have Your Dreams Changed After WLS?

How have your dreams changed after weight loss surgery?  I know that dream recall can be difficult or impossible for some people, and it is for me sometimes, too.  In general, I used to have a lot of dreams about being chased by something terrible. but unseen.  Usually the setting was in a huge, old house or industrial facility and I would always stay one step ahead of doom, yet I could never quite escape. The can't escape scenario is a classic anxiety dream.  What I have read about dream interpretation would suggest that either there were some realities and responsibilities in my waking life that I felt like I couldn't escape from or that there was a part of me that was repressed or unexpressed.

Since most of the weight has come off and I have become more comfortable in my smaller body, my dreams have generally been more often , uh, sexual, more physical in the sense that I am capable of moving better in them and the underlying theme is one of exploring in diffficult cir****tances rather than needing to escape from something terrible in those cir****tances.  In other words, my dreams now seem to be from the perspective of a more self-confident, more physically capable person than before surgery.  I rarely wake up feeling anxious any more, which can only be a good thing I guess.  I will leave speculation about what my dreams mean to your imagination (it's more fun that way, I think).

How about you? Have your dreams changed since surgery?  If so, how so?

Not too much really.. but I do remember them more often. Perhaps it's because I get better sleep.. I don't know.
