Ever craved something so much you dream about it... repeatedly?

I have issues. *sigh* It started a couple weeks ago for no reason... I'm craving a French pastry called 'pain aux raisins'. I crave it so badly that I dream about it pretty much every night (dreaming that I'm in France and going through 10 bakeries to find one, but manage somehow to break my jaw before I find one, or it falls apart when I pick it up, or the person in front of me buys the last one...).

It's killing me. The problem is that there isn't any place nearby that sells them. There *may* be one in town 20 minutes away but then I have to pay for parking just to check and, well, I'm cheap, plus last time I had the chocolate one there, it was a bit too dry anyway.

Story of my life. It's always French pastries that are pretty much impossible to find here (unless I drive one hour and well, there are limits). Probably because I grew up on the stuff.

    Yeah, when I gave up smoking, I woke up several times after dreaming I had had a smoke, Literally just dreamt of taking one out of the pack, striking the lighter, inhaling

    I gave up my Diet Coke habit. I do dream about a nice fountain Diet Coke and when I do, I get one. But now all I want are some French pastries.

    I recently had a dream about eating a hamburger. I have been wanting one for sooo long but my cheat meals have been taken up by other things.

    Soon I will eat a Hamburger!

    I looked up the recipe and it looks like a major pain to make, or I would :(

    I had the same dream about brownies and cupcakes until I made them and I ate one of each and gave the rest away

    Yes! I had a dream about eating a big plate of nachos last night at my favorite bar.

    I've had dreams like that.

    Notably, I dreamed i was jogging in a nice neighborhood and there was a child sitting on a lawn eating those peanut butter filled pretzels nuggets from the container and I ran by and took them! I ran away as the kid cried! I felt guilty about that dream, and besides, I don't even like those that much!

    I've also had many dreams about Oreos, but my most recent was one where I was measuring out 2 servings of my red velvet oreos and putting whipped cream and icing on pumpernickel with the oreos to make a sandwich. Wtf right?!

    Nope, if there's something I really want I either find a place to buy it or I make it myself.

    My cravings turned to dreams are usually deep fried dill pickles and pizza :)
