Losing weight and dreams

Hi,
I had a great dream last night about being in the airport and having bags that were too heavy (as heavy as the weight I wanted to reach until yesterday, when I changed my goal). Crying, I decided to let go of some of my clothes since I couldn't afford the extra weight...

At moments, there was a little girl standing next to me and I had to decide whether I could leave some of her clothes (cute t-shirts and skirts, just like the ones I used to wear before I grew up and gave up skirts) behind as well.

All these things have a lot of meaning to me...and I'm always so surprised that my dreams can so such a perfect metaphor for what's going on in my life.

What about you? Have you had meaningful dreams since you started this journey?

    I had a dream last night that I stepped on the scale and I was 900 pounds.
    I woke up in a cold sweat crying.

    Did you notice that you have made about 900 posts? I just noticed...I believe little details like that stick in our brains and come out at some point.

    Maybe that little nasty self-defeating part -that we all have- is trying to tell you that you won't succeed? eff it! it won't win.

    Keep up the good work!

    I had a dream where I was forced to eat meat and packaged foods. It's probably one of the most normal dreams I've ever had.

    This is funny, because I've made probably about 9 or so posts today, which means I probably was VERY close to 900 last night. I didn't even THINK about that until you pointed it out.

    So, I had to post something else, because this came up in my Topics with "6 Posts 66 Views."
    Can't have that.

    Last night's dream wasn't about losing weight, but last last night I DID have a dream about losing weight. I had become tiny, and was really happy in my dream, I felt excitement for life...

    My dreams vary on this detail.

    No, I don't remember looking at myself in dreams or looking any different.
