Dreaming of Getting Fat

fat, chubby, overweight, weight gain · mostly positive, with one exception

Gaining weight in a dream points to a fortunate change and prosperity, unless you are cutting or eating fat.

What happens in the dream

  • You see other people who are fat: prosperity
  • You are getting fat: a fortunate change in your life, a birth or an engagement
  • You cut or eat fat: illness and misfortune, the one bad sign

How you felt

  • A sense of plenty: it may express feeling full and well provided for

Ask yourself

  • How do I feel in my body right now?
  • What change is quietly growing in me?
