Weird food dreams??

Last night I dreamed I was WWII soldier, and I ate a whole bunch of Slim Jims and beef jerky that tasted like a mix of Tabasco, Teriyaki and sauce.

Weird thing is, I'm vegan.

World War 2 thing isn't too weird though, I was watching Band of Brothers marathon before I went to sleep, but I digress... 

I always have weird food dreams though...even more so since I've been trying to gain weight.

• Is this normal??
• Is this a sign I may be missing a nutrient or something in my diet?
• Or -worse- did I sleep eat and devour a whole bunch of beef jerky and slim jims?
• Am I crazy?

I don't think there was any in the house though... Anyone else get these weird dreams?

A prisoner will dream of liberty... A starving man will dream of food....  

You've been chronically starving, you're severly malnourished and you are seriously underweight as you know.  Your doctor has told you that you're in very poor physical shape....  Stressed, worried minds tend to generate odd dreams.  Perfectly normal.

"Is this a sign I may be missing a nutrient or something in my diet".... well yes... you're currently missing about 1000 - 1500 cals a day of nourishment in your diet and your vegan food choices are poor.  Get your intake up past 3300 a day, get a better balanced diet and you'll stand a chance of getting your life back, your health back, and maybe a better night's sleep.

I had a weird food dream the other night, too. I've been on a youth camp and was scared that the chef was going to accidentally give me something that was not vegan.

I had a dream that I was eating some pasta with tomato-based sauce when I suddenly tasted bacon. And then I threw up everywhere :S

I guess as vegans we're afraid of eating meat so it's natural it'd feature in nightmarish dreams...?

It's funny that this post comes up today, because I had a food dream last night too. I dreamed that I ate about 30 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Can't remember why or the context or anything. Weird!

hahaha. likewise. last night (closer to the morning though) I dreamt that I had just had a large breakfast. Something like oatmeal toast, eggs, a shake and something else. I then woke up feeling quite stuffed and only managed to drink a pint of milk... followed by a sandwich two hours later.

I have dreams about food all the time.  I refer to them as "wet dreams" because I don't really dream about sex that much.. instead I dream about food in a very strangely romantic way.  It's kind of nice, though, because when I am craving french fires and I have a dream about them, I wake up feeling likeI pigged out on french fries and don't feel like eating them!

Weird how dreams can change your thought process.

I had a dream about eggs, Im a ex vegan(although i smoked so lets call it a strict vegitarian) I tasted an egg a few months back and wow!, But In my dream i was tucking into a rather plump boiled egg..... Yummy

but when i was biting through the yolk my teeth hit something chewy, turns out the yolk was a baby chicken, not fullly formed and what not.

so no more eggs for me.

Just thought id share, since im rather creeped out this morning....

I often have wierd food dreams. Or sometimes i will dream that I ate loads and when i woke up for the initial part of waking i am just like holy crap but then i realise it was a dream.

Yes! I am a vegetarian and I will have weird dreams where I eat giant racks ofribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, anything you can imagine, forgetting that I don't eat it and then feeling weird about it for the remainder of the dream. I don't get it...

Wow. Odd this topic came up, because I was just thinking how weird it was that I dreamed I ate a Big Mac last night. I suppose I know where I got the dream idea from, I was reading the caloric content of a Big Mac vs. a Whopper vs. a Subway sandwich on one of the Subway napkins...but still, it felt good to feel like I ate something as sinful as a Big Mac and not have any of the side effects from it!

I had a dream about food last night too!

I was drunk and went to some food shop where everything they sold was deep fried, i woke up crying because i thought it was true. Yes lame.

I wouldn't think too much into it!

Random but does anyone dream more vividly after a binge?!
