Dreaming about food on an extended fast


(Neil) #1

I’m on day 5 of a planned 5-day fast right now. Last night, all of my dreams were about food!

For example, at one point I was dreaming about going to a particular restaurant, perusing the menu, choosing what I wanted to order, and so on.

I wonder if this is my body saying “hey, stupid, time to get off your ass and go hunt some animals to chow down on!” :laughing:

Does this ever happen to you?

I was already planning to break this fast tomorrow, and will go ahead and stick to that plan. Despite the dreams, I feel fine: I have plenty of energy, I have good mental clarity, and so on. Don’t worry, body, food is coming soon!

Yeah, it’s your body reminding you to eat LOL

I had a vivid dream of eating in the middle of a 3-day fast and it was so real I woke up upset and wondered if I’d forgotten I was fasting and really did eat!

I was in a hotel with no food available so I wasn’t sleep walking to the kitchen and chowing down.

I was so relieved when I figured out it was a dream. :smiley:
