Last week I went public about my bagel-crisis. I've sworn off of them for the month of November, citing my growing health concerns. I promised to the world that I would not purchase, nor eat any.
I had a dream in which I broke my promise. I ate two delicious cinnamon raisin bagels smothered in cream cheese, and I suspect they were from Dunkin Donuts judging by the perceived texture. I'm not 100% certain on this fact though, as I was in fact asleep.
I think even more amazing though is that I actually woke up feeling incredibly guilty, confused, and upset. I felt like I somehow cheated on my pledge, despite not actually eating anything. Somehow dreaming about them was enough to be completely devastating.
To dream of seeing or tasting a bagel represents something that is not completely fulfilled in your life. You do not feel full-fledged.

I agree dream-interpreters, my life is not full-fledged. I am without Bagels. Only ten days into this challenge and I am already feeling the pressure.
Lord, deliver him from the bondage of bagels. Provide him with the strength to resist this temptation. Amen
(I couldn’t resist . )
Any help I can get I’ll take!!
Hang in there Jono. I went through the same thing when I quit smoking. I wanted to quit so bad, and when I dreamed that I smoked a cigarette I woke up so upset, cuz I thought it was real!! It’s just cuz you want to do it for real, and you are afraid of caving… our minds are incredible !!
My co-worker suggested that it could be our brains training us for the situation in which we are tempted in real life. Its a way of training the scenarios out ahead of time so we know what to do to avoid it!
I had a remarkably vivid and detailed dream about poached eggs, which I’ve never had. Dreams are strange things sometimes
Maybe it was your brain telling you that you should try them! That is impressive though to conjour up something you don’t typically have. Thanks for stopping in on the blog 🙂
In my dream they were great. I can’t imagine they could ever live up to my dreams
I have the same dreams about soda. I haven’t had soda in more than a month. There are times when I really want one but then I think about how far I have gone without it. Still, more than one dream involves me with a Coke in my hands.
Major props for giving up soda! I think that is one of the hardest things to give up, as our body is so used to the caffeine. Good to know i am not the only one dreaming about cravings! Thanks for stopping by!
It wasn’t intended to be permanent to be honest. It’s just that every time I want one, I think of how long I have gone without one. Mind you, this is the same reason I haven’t had a cigarette in 7 years. So, who knows?
