so i've been a vegetarian for half a year now and its one of the best things i've ever done in my life I feel much better and I cant anymore imagine myself going back to eating meat (makes me sick...) and lately i've been having these nightmares about eating meat. Many times i've had nightmares where I go to mcdonalds or I cook meat and I eat it and feel sick and after i've eaten it I feel really bad and I just feel like puking (and my thoughts usually are "oh my god...i've eaten meat...) Then I usually wake up and I feel relieved that it only was a nightmare What could this mean? Is my brain just used to eating meat that now that im not eating it anymore my brain makes me see nightmares about it? (posted this same thing @ vegetarian forum)
I have the same dreams. The fact that you are upset in the dream shows that you are truly vegetarian. No, you don't need meat for anything..just be sure to take in that tad of B-12....when I "crave meat" in the waking state, I realise what I am craving..is a texture..(not flesh per se) ..and a flavor...salt, or smoky...something like that..and the veggie patties, really satisfy me. After all, plants came along before the animals..so...veggies..it will be.
