I had a dream last night. Have you ever had your partner wake up mad at you? For having cheated in their dream? Yep, been there. Well, this was a little like that.

I tend to have action oriented dreams, but this popped up in the middle and made me chuckle. I was at a dinner party and there was a bunch of food available. Some of it was intended for specific people and all of the sudden, this small but tall cake was put in front of me. I proceeded to cut a sliver from it when it dawned on me that perhaps I should skip the cake. Because of the journey I was currently undertaking. As I considered my options, I ate that dang slice of cake. I basically cheated on myself and my efforts to get healthy.

Two things stand out for me. The first is that with the health focus I’ve had, it is becoming part of my subconscious. This is good as I tend to let ideas and problems percolate when sleeping. The second may be me reading more into this than was really there, but it is about the notion of the unconscious eating. For me, an example of this is when watching TV and eating directly from a bag of chips. The show is progressing and suddenly you realize that many, many chips have been consumed. Like a lot. In the dream I recall considering if I should eat the cake while eating the cake. Deep, right?
