OK...who started this?? In over six months I have NOT had a food dream...not even once. Then I started reading this thread because the tales were so funny.......
Yesterday (for real) ... I noticed there were several (leftover from last Halloween) Reeses P-nut butter cups in the freezer...
Last night I dreamed I had eaten one...but I was up in the bedroom when I ate it. When I woke up this morning I couldn't figure out where that bizarre dream came out of.... now I think I know!
Most of my dreams involve mindless eating and then a sudden realization that I have blown it. Last time, it was a bag of Doritos. I was trying to scrape my tongue off and then even asked myself whether I was dreaming. Even in my dream I was aware that I have dreams like this. In my dream I concluded that, tragically, I was not dreaming this time. I eventually woke up and it took me a few minutes to realize I had not really had any Doritos. I was SO relieved!

Ha! I love how twisted our minds can be. I have always had very realistic dreams, and on occasion my husband gets smacked for something he did in my dream - because it is hard not to be mad at him even if it wasn't real. It felt real!
65X65 - I'm guilty... but aren't you glad you had a place to come tell us about it?? :P The dreams are so funny to read though.
Oh I know...the other day I was laughing out loud ..they were described so vividly and hysterically! Mine not nearly so funny.... but some of these really ought to be in a book!
I normally wake my husband up in the middle of the night to ask him to put the coffee on. I must be dreaming about something that would require me to have a coffee--desert perhaps!
I had my first food dream last night LOL I dreamed that I went to mcdonalds and had a big mac meal but I was asleep in the dream I was sleep walking and eating. In my dream I woke up mortified. Then I really woke up and had to laugh.

That is hysterical you had a dream about a food dream!
i really dislike the food dreams the most...they make me feel awful lol im always soo happy when i wake up and realize its all just a horrible nightmare.
This entire thread is hilarious! I laughed all the way through. I luckily stopped having the food dreams, but now maybe I'll have one; 65X65. lol.
Mine always involved me eating a wonderful savory dinner, dripping gravy, potatoes, etc...and then looking down and realizing it. I would continue to eat and would be crying!
It is so funny that most of our dreams are very similar. They are certainly filled with a lot of emotion.
I'm apparently craving nuts...my first food dream 3 nights ago was of me panicking because I ate a pecan praline. Well, it was a nightmare because I didn't get any satisfaction from it, even in a dream!
This morning I woke up sure that I had eaten a package of mixed nuts last night.
If I start dreaming of foods that are actually in my pantry, I might have a hard time separating dreams from real life!
I'm relatively new to the forum. I've been on IP for 11 weeks (with 36.8 lbs gone!). I started having food dreams a couple weeks ago. My first one actually involved my mother. In the dream, she gave me something to eat that was not in the program...I believe a donut. I ate it and then remembered that it was not on plan. I was then mad at my mother and crying to her "you fed me the wrong thing and made me eat it." I then said something about not being in ketosis anymore. It felt real. I was relieved when I woke up and realized it was just a dream
My mom has been staying with my husband and I for the last 6 months to help take care of our 9 month old son (she's retired). She eats any and every thing around me and indeed gave me some meat with rice a few days ago (I felt the same anger as I did in my dream when she did this). I told her, you know I can't eat rice. She said "oh." She knows I haven't eaten rice in months! I love my mother and she tells me how great I look and how well I'm doing. I'm grateful that she's helping me but it reminds me that I have to lose weight for me and I can't let her bad habits influence my outcome. Maybe that was what the dream was warning me about, lol!
I've had several since starting IP. The scenario plays out the same way. I dream I am eating something off plan - sitting there knowing full well that I can't have the food item but yet eating it anyway. My reaction is always the same then I wake up right pizzed off that I "cheated" only to slowly realize that it was only a dream.
One time I was so mad for this "dream cheating" that I woke up saying SOB. Wifey woke up in a panic to ask what was wrong. I said that I had cheated and explained what I ate. Wifey had to gently remind me that I only dreamed it and it wasn't real. It took a moment for my sleep addled mind to grasp that it was only a dream.

I've been secretly stalking this thread and laughing to myself about all these silly people with their crazy dreams. Then, last night, I joined the crazy food dream club. I dreamed that I "cheated" and ate Baked Lays. So funny!
I had a nap this afternoon and dreamed I was making a bacon and tomato sandwich with three slices of bread. I was pretty sure it was okay to eat. When I finished making it, I thought "I can't eat this!" and then I thought "sure you can, you can have a quite a few carbs before you're kicked out of ketosis." I checked the bread package and found out each slice contained 53 grams of "grain carbs." I started to cry, thinking I could just eat the filling of the sandwhich. Then cried harder because I couldn't really eat that either! I woke up feeling very discombobulated.
dream came out of.... now I think I know!
