2 double hamburgers and some numbers, Mysticism, reading, forums, Numerology, Sun Signs, Divination

I dreamt that I was eating 2 very large double hamburgers. They resembled Big Macs, as there was bread inbetween the meat patties. I finished one and was eating the second when I noticed a piece of paper that mentioned that each burger was 1300 calories, totaling 2600 calories if I consumed both. That was how the dream ended. I generally tend to believe that food in dreams is a good dream symbol, but don't know what these hamburgers are in reference to. And I have no idea what the numbers could represent. Any insight would be appreciated. FYI, I'm not a big meat eater and I rarely frequent McDonalds.

Why do the numbers need to mean anything other than the obvious - the number of calories in each hamburger?

Such a dream suggests that the dreamer could have an unhealthy obsession about needing to lose excess weight, when this might not be necessary or even medically safe.

I am not going so far as to say that such a dream necessarily means that you are either obese or have a latent eating disorder, but rather it does seem to indicate that you are perhaps taking this practice of counting calories with every single bite much too far for the sake of your own good.

What follows is a possible alternative interpretation for hamburger dreams............

Quote:

To see or eat a hamburger in your dream, suggests that you are lacking some emotional, intellectual, or physical component you need in order to feel whole again. You may be feeling unsatisfied with some situation or relationship. It is also symbolic of your experiences and how you need to learn from them. Look at the big picture.

You symbolically "hunger" in your dream to become more whole (to be healed), both within yourself and in your life situations as well?

Hoping this helps,

Not meaning to interfere with eye of the tiger's reading... but solely adding to the previous. This is how I would interprete it if I would have dreamt it, so I may be off...

Food in a dream for me indicates you feel you lack something (spiritual) within yourself or life which you attempt to replenish. A McDonalds hamburger is the typical fast food symbol. You're not just trying to replenish, you want to do it as fast as possible, including in unhealthy ways/means. The calory warning emphasizes the idea of unhealthy fast food: lots of calories but not really the best of food. Spiritual growth and fulfillment takes time. It's not something you can fix quickly.
