Weird Dream (And Kind of Gross too!)

Okay you've been warned about the gross part!!

Had a dream a few nights ago that I can’t shake.. I am assuming it has something to do with my poor body image but anyway I thought maybe we could have a discussion on our dreams that we’ve had and see if we’ve got any similarities. :smile: Or maybe one of you is one of those cool dream interpreters and can tell us what my subconscious is saying. :wink:

I don’t remember the dream in its entirety (who does, anyway?) but I remember at one point looking at my legs and the dimples on them (I’ve got a few from cellulite, who doesn’t?!) and they appeared, well, sort of crusty (for lack of a better term). Anyway I put my finger on one of the dimples and it went through the skin, and all the skin around it broke away, like it was rotted or disintegrating paper. Also, the interiors of my legs were rotten… This is all I have been thinking about lately whenever I look at my legs or touch them which is really a petrifying image. My husband just keeps telling me “it’s only a dream” but that doesn’t make it feel less real!!

So, tell me yours! Any odd dreams related to body image, weight loss, weight gain?

    there's a free dream interpreting site called freedreaminterpretationonline.com. the guy's not bad, he interpreted this weird dream i had about being a Malayan Sun Bear (yes my brain is a WEIRD place)

    i kind of want to know what it means that i am NEVER fat in my dreams. i dont have the highest self esteem so i would think i would see myself as large in my dreams but i dont. its kind of strange.

    and i'm not a professional dream reader (i am trying to learn how though) but to me this sounds like you've got the right idea about this dream. sounds to me like your legs are the part of you that bothers you the most. maybe doing some leg toning specific exercises will help with this feeling?

    good luck with your dreams and i hope you dont have one that creepy and gross again! D:

    sick dreams are either the best or the worst! i once dreamed up an entire novel idea when i had a REALLY bad flu. it felt like the dream went on for years but it was only five hours.

    LOL did you write the novel down? Maybe could've made some money. :):)

    Good idea with the legs workout.. I am a runner and sometimes they DO bother me I will do some lunges later lol.

    ''To dream that your leg is wounded or crippled, signifies a lack of balance, autonomy, or independence in your life. You may be unable or unwilling to stand up for yourself. Perhaps you are lacking courage and refuse to make a stand. ''

    Found on a dream body part website

    yah i had a really bad fever once and i dreamed i was being chased around the world by these 3 witches that were trying to kill me it seemed like it went on forever then finally they pushed me down a well and right before i was about to hit the bottom i woke up and puked now i have a fear of unrestrained falling i can do anything heights like parachuting bungie jumping cliff diving as long as there is something to land in or catch me but my worst dreams are always me falling from way up without a parachute always wake up adrenaline style

    Maybe the rotten flesh underneath when you pressed on the skin signifies the fat under your skin? Like your mind is telling you it's bad, to get rid of it, to fix it. That with it there, you will deteriorate. I don't know, that's what I would take that dream as if I had it. My dreams have been about chocolate chip cookies lately... Sorry dieters!
