I’m on day four of a five day water fast. Last night I had a dream that I was on a date at a cafe and was given a chocolate chip biscotti.
I took a bite, noticed how delicious it was, and a moment later realized that I had just accidentally broken my fast early!
I was so disappointed in myself - before I woke up. Such relief!!
It was especially surprising because I very rarely eat or taste anything in dreams. Does anyone else get food and eating dreams while they’re fasting?
I just finished a 48 hour fast. I actually dreamed last night that I was so hungry (I actually was!!) and was traveling to my hometown, where there are no restaurants. My hometown is way out in the country. Anyway, I was so irritated that I missed my chance to eat when I was closer to the airport. The whole dream was about me stressing that I would arrive at my family’s home so hungry and late at night. My fasting dreams always involve not being able to find food. I grew up with intermittent major food shortages and in pretty severe poverty, so I wonder if that impacts how your brain interprets fasting while sleeping. 🤔
