OMG. Even in the dream I was like what am I doing, but it tasted so good. Not craving cake this am so maybe it was a good dream. At least my pillow was still there in the am.

Your not alone

Every time I start a diet I dream of food. When I was on atkins I dreamed I was on a slide and on the way down on each side of the slide was donuts and ice cream...so when I went down the slide I grabed every donut I could LOLOL !!!!

Its only a dream, don't read to much into it or you'll wind up at the bakery

Girls, you're killin' me. I don't think I've EVER dreamed of food!

[Brina]

You're lucky - I've dreamt I ate an entire box of cookies..

When i woke up... I had!

[Leenie]

Oh, and the dreaded M&M w/pnuts dream...... shiver me timbers.

Hiya, I'm sort of new to this board, and totally new to this group. Your post made me think of a song. Have you ever heard "Fatso" by The Story?? One of the verses goes, "Last night i dreamed I ate a chocolate cake (ate a whoooole chocolate cake), and when I woke up, I was sure it was true, so I weighed myself just to be sure and drank a diet coke".

It's a HILARIOUS song by a brilliant musician. Worth a download, I'd say.

Chaps, welcome! I've never heard the song, but it sounds like a hoot.

Glad to see I'm not alone, LOL.

since i started my diet i have had several dreams about eating giant candy bars and the like. i wonder what causes this. i never had dreams like that before. they were almost like nightmares, because i freaked out in my dream when i realized that i shouldn't have had that candy bar, and what was i thinking?? well at least i am not the only one. when i woke up each time, i thought it was really weird and i was still freaked out about it.

Yay! I'm not nuts! Or, at least, I'm not the only one!

I have always had a serious sweet tooth. In February, I finally realized I was eating cookies instead of actual food, so I gave up sweets altogether (even the sugar-free stuff), and made some other changes to start losing the weight for good. It's been a slow process, but it's going really well.

The thing is, about every 6 weeks, I dream that I'm eating cookies, or candy, or something. It's weird, because I'm not eating tons, just absentmindedly munching. Then I wake up having this incredible "OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!? feeling of panic.

So apparently, while I may be done with the cookies, my sub-conscious is still holding on to them. Oh well, fewer calories this way, right?
