I'm vegatarian and I keep on having these weird dreams about eating meat??!


Question: Every single night I keep dreaming that I eat meat like a ham and cheese sandwhich, or pepporoni pizza [all things I used to like when I wasn't veg.] Then afterwards (in my dream) I get really upset that I ate it.
Why do you think I am having these dreams? Could it mean anything?

I think its normal.

I remember used to having those dreams in the first 5 months of being vegetarian.

I think you'll be fine if you just stay away from meat. Like not be around it when people prepare or eat meat.

Your subconscious is craving it. Just go get a bucket of fried chicken. You'll feel better

yes eat a steak!

your body might be craving them

usually you dream about what you think of during the day. mabye you should stop thinking about meat and see what happens in your dream.

Yeah, It means you need to stop eating what food eats and start eating food! I f animals weren't ment to be eaten they wouldn't taste sooooo good!

I'm not sure... why did you become a vegitarian in the first place? Think about it... and it's fine if you want to eat meat again, you tried something and it didn't work out. But if you still want to stay a vegitarian Publix sells soy meat... I love it, myself.

You are having dreams about it because you are thinking about vegetarianism and not eating meat a lot. I had those dreams once or twice. The fact is is that it doesn't matter what it means, it's just good that you were upset afterward. It's weird too, when I had a meat dream it seemed so vivid. It was horrific.

Did you recently go vegetarian?

You probably think about being vegetarian a lot during the day. Maybe you talk about it to other people or otherwise reflect on it a lot. Something you think about incessantly shows up in your dreams, and dreams don't always make sense.

If you were craving meat you'd be experiencing cravings while conscious, not just when you're sleeping. Your dreams don't really hold too many "secrets" of your subconscious, despite what Freudian, pseudo-psychological nonsense others might believe about them.

Your dreams are largely governed by random brain activity. People typically have 2 - 3 dreams or more per night and you only remember one or two of them at most. Since you're a vegetarian and being vegetarian plays a large part of your life, obviously you'll have dreams where your vegetarianism is challenged, or dreams where weird stuff is happening to you or you act out of character or break your diet. Since these dreams are clearly unusual and even disturbing to you, of course this is the dream that affects you and you remember when you wake up.

Don't worry about dreams, they are really almost entirely random except for the rare few people that can actually steer the direction that their dreams go (and they still have to oftentimes work with the random scenarios they are dealt anyway).

WELCOME TO THE CLUB !!!!!
It's the same for me, I crave it but there is no way I would want an animal to suffer for my pleasure.
Keep on dreaming and enjoy food guilt free.
Good luck

ive never had a dream like that before
your mind and body might want to go back
dont worry your not alone
just think of all the goods things that comes with vegetarianism and that should help

the wife and I disagree on this one.
I say: It is not weird first of all. People dream all sorts of things all the time about stuff they won't "dream" of doing when awake. It's just a dream, nothing more.

Wife says: If you used to eat meat, the mind might just be telling you about having stuff that you used to enjoy or make make you feel good. Maybe you have some other problems? Something else getting you down?

I was a vegetarian for a while, but I couldn't stop dreaming about eggs and chicken meat. I started eating both again and I feel better. Fortunately, I have enough acreage to have free range. Honestly, if I had the room, I'd eat beef and pork again. My only issue is how animals are raised for meat. Well, my other issue is people who make tofu into artificial meat, what a joke, if you crave meat, eat it, don't try to mask it. Tofu chicken and hot dogs are for hypocrites.

It's one way of responding to will power when nutrients (not the taste) are lacking, like iron and amino acids. Nicotine can produce similar dreams but you're better off without it. Also, remember wet dreams are a response to an unnatural deficiency.

maybe u really want to eat meat or maybe it's something that absolutely repulses u and that's not a dream ur having it's really a nightmare

That happes to me too. But its about my diet not being a vegatarian. You're probably craving it without knowing.

You're probably obsessing about the vegetarian thing and it is causing the dreams. Stop worrying about it so much and they will probably stop.

Probably the same reason I still dream about smoking cigarettes.

Humans are naturally omnivores ( eating meat and veggies) its kinda like and instinct. If your comfortable with bein a vegger (lol) than stay that way. They're just dreams. ;}

Its just a bad thought in the back of ur mind. You cant help it but maybe you do kinda miss it. Sometimes I do but I know how deeply wrong it is because animals are just not meant for us to eat. God said so HAHAH. Try to focus on something better so that you can have a diff dream. Like a guy or celeb lol!
