Dreams and Dinner Plates

Hi Everyone,

I had the strangest dream last night and thought I would share. 

In my dream I had this huge plate of food I was eating.  I was about half way through the plate of food when I realized I shouldn't be eating that much and I was going to make myself sick. 

I don't think I need to be Freud to understand the meaning. 

I have been working on dealing with emotional hunger and this is probably just another manisfestation of it. 

Does anyone else have dreams about eating huge amounts of food? 

Thank goodness I can't get calories from dreaming about eating.

early out i used to have a lot of food dreams and i will admit they were nice

now the dreams i get are that i ate sugar by accident and i am waiting to dump....i have never dumped so i dont know what that is like nor have i eaten sugar.

Just remember that most addicts have dreams, drug dreams. etc

OMG!!!  I totally have those dreams - they are often manifested when I am feeling stressed - probably becuase I used to eat that way when I was stressed andnow I don't!  I am glad to know that I am not the only one!  They are really weird! 

I had a food dream not long after surgery - maybe a couple of months - about chocolate layer cake. That was always my favorite dessert from the time I was a child. I was dreaming that I was walking around my office and had to keep passing thru our kitchenette and there was a huge chocolate cake in there that people kept trying to make me eat - one time around my sister was in the kitchen and actually tried forcing the cake down my throat - and I dreamt that I grabbed her arm and was forcing it back away from me.

Unfortunately for my little dog Jude he was the actual 'thing' I grabbed in my sleep and I must have squeezed him pretty hard because all of a sudden I felt him twist out of my hand and yelp!! OMG I felt so horrible - like the worst person in the world for doing that!! I held the little guy and cuddled him and kept telling him how sorry I was.

So yeah, the food dreams can be scarey but that's the only one I remember vividly.

I had a dream early out (I think it might have been on pre op liquid or early post op liquid) that I had ordered a pizza and "hidden" various slices of it.....in my car.  I would pull down my visor and a piece of pizza would unfold from the mirror...there was a piece of pizza in the glove compartment...and I believe one under the floor mat.  The part with the visor is the most memorable for me.  And in the dream I would constantly be "going for a drive" which always entailed eating a piece of pizza.

Talk about a bunch of neurotic people we are!  LOL

Well, I am glad I am not the only one.  Thanks for sharing everyone!  I will  contain gthe overeating to my dreams.  Although, I really hope I don't have any more of those!
