Fat Dream Meaning
Lets get the first question out of the way. Are you overweight and does it bother you? Sometimes dreams can be direct to the point it attacks your insecurities. This might be a sign you need to jump back on that treadmill to lose a couple of pounds.
Though this might not be the case with everybody, in fact many people who are not necessary over weight dream of gaining an exuberant amount of access pounds.
Dreams of gaining weight isn’t necessary a positive omen as being “fat” tends to have a stigma behind it. Now if your dream is speaking to you in a metaphoric manner it might have nothing to do with weight but rather taking on, absorbing, or internally consuming something that is not good for you.
What exactly could this be? The location and people around you in your dream are hints that might direct your attention to relationships, work environments or unconscious feelings about digesting more than what you are capable of handling.
Obese Dream Meaning
It is not uncommon to dream of someone else being fat. Could this unknown person be a projection of your own “shadow” – unconscious behaviors and urges you are unaware of.
Furthermore if you had a dream you where skinny can suggest one of two things. If you are overweight it might be a wishful desire, or a need to remove internal negative energy, harmful attachments, and things that slow you down in life.
Dreaming of a weight scale can be metaphorically decoded by the number that appeared. That specific number you saw on the scale is symbolic to you and the emotions expressed. Did you feel happy or upset? Could it suggests that you need to judge yourself, a need for self examination.
Dreaming of Weight Gain
How weight really appears in our dreams is more subtle then you think. Let’s say for example if weight gain was bad for your heart it might also point at past relationships that are causing blockages from repressed pain. Gaining weight in your dream represents negatively consuming things that are bad for you. This doesn’t means actual food (sometimes it does), but rather relating to your mind body connection — absorbing things in your mind that will weigh you down.
Dreaming about losing weight?
Losing weight in your dream is a positive omen hinting at losing negative energy or toxic things that belonged to your past. You are basically losing something bad within you that was showing to others. On the other hand dreaming about losing weight might in fact be suggesting you will achieve your goals.
