I dream of Atkins

[Djeyli]

Something weird happened to me the other night.

I dreamed that I was losing weight and could see it falling off me. When I woke up I felt thinner and lighter. Later that day I weighed in and found that I HAD lost nearly 2 pounds from the previous day!

Has anyone else had strange dreams like this or is this just my overactive dreaming?

lol I was asked if I had worked out before bed monday night, I felt guilty because I had not. I had a dream where I was running through a school, along a river, then back to the school. In the beginning of the dream the school was having a bakesale with all these great looking desserts. I remember thinking in my dream after my run Im going to buy one of the desserts. When I was finished running and went to get my dessert they were gone there was just one dessert left and it was vanilla which I dont like.lol

Wow, no! Not about that. You had a happy-dream In my food dream this family was eating lunch in the pool I was doing laps in. Then they left and I had to clean up the pool after them! It was a hard job because the salami was scattered around the bottom. I'm still mad at those people.

Re: I dream of Atkins

In my dreams lately I will be doing whatever I'm dreaming about, then all of a sudden realize I am quite thin... see myself in a mirror, see a reflection in a window, whatever. I am quite surprised in the dream when I first see myself, then will study myself for several seconds before going back to whatever the dream is about.

I'm hoping this is a sign my brain is re-aligning itself towards a newer, thinner version of myself.

Re: I dream of Atkins

The questions that bug me are:

1) Did the weight loss trigger the dream?
2) Did the dream trigger the weight loss?
3) Is this experience just totally random?

The mind is a very powerful thing. It could have been any of the above. For peace of mind, I would say that your success and the desire to loose weight triggered the dream. I am by no means an expert on this matter but have had training and took a couple classes that touched on the subjects of both dreams and mind over matter.

LOL Yeah... and I've had dreams of eating foods NOT on my acceptable foods list and woke up sweating and thinking I had cheated. LOL I believe it just means we're very serious about improving our overall health and wellness.

I had a dream that there was a big corn field in the front yard of our church and some man was out there cutting it down. I asked someone if they had a gun because I thought the man was going to come inside.

Here I thought the dream was about a gun...it wasn't about a gun...it was about corn!!!

Re: I dream of Atkins

I haven't had a dream which involved eating. I wish I did - at least you can eat carby food in dreams and not disrupt your real lifestyle lol

I never have food dreams or anything related to weight loss.
