As someone who avoids carbs, I can tell you I have had vivid dreams around gorging on freshly baked pizza and bread. Oh, the humanity.
meat·mare
meat·mare (noun): A terrifying dream afflicting some vegetarians in which the dreamer experiences extreme feelings of anxiety about meat. Nightmares might involve horrifying visions of meat or the (troubling) experience of eating meat.
A member of the vegetarian online forum VeggieBoards recalled this gruesome meatmare involving butchers:
Another member described a meatmare that involved gorging on bacon:
For vegans, dairy can be the stuff of bad dreams too, as this member reported:

I have had dreams in which I'm eating meat, and I'm concerned that I will have to start my veganism all over again.
Sounds like your body secretly desiring something. The sub-conscious is asking for something it thinks (knows) you'll just love. Dreams are ways to look into your inner thoughts; even as nightmares, so it makes one wonder what it is trying to tell you.
As for the bacon dream...
A. That is a real nightmare - what a tease!
B. Your brother wanted it for himself because it is just simply delicious!
I had a drean in which I fell off a building and died...and then as a ghost I wanted to talk to my friends but they couldn't hear me and I couldn't warn them about danger.
anyone who has these dreams should probably just kill themselves, or at the very least sterilize themselves.
I have vegmares about having to deal with vegans.
I had a dream where people were screaming and trying to stop me from eating vegans, but they couldn't, they were weak and exhausted from a soy and wheatgrass diet. They were delicious! Unfortunately I woke up and had to settle for bacon-wrapped steak.
This is one of the most pathetic things I have ever read. Oh wait, I didn't realize it was a joke... that's right... no one could be so stupid that they actually have, let alone write about their "meatmares".
Give me a break.
this is definatley deserving of the "Asinine" tag on fark.com. I'm headed out to Burger King...
pussies
Asinine barely covers it, ken, but yeah... definitely. :)
Plants are what food eats...
Vegans are dumb.
I had a Vegimare once. I woke up and was surrounded in a field by lettuce and broccili, carrots ran the lengths of football fields, and were as tall as a tyrannasaurus rex, rows of cornstalks loomed like scarecrows over my hapless body as i walked and walked i came across cabbages the size of taxi cabs, brussels sprouts as big as my head, no matter how long i ran i couldnt escape the smell of avocadoes and just before i really woke up a tomatoe fell from the sky and squashed me.
I've been a vegetarian for a few years now and I don't think I've ever had this happen. The reason I say this is because I wouldn't freak out if I did happen to eat meat in my dream. It's a dream people.
I had a plantmare where I heard the screams of the defenseless fruits and vegetables that vegans were brutally murdering and devouring alive. Then I woke up, and secretly put bacon bits in my roommate's idiot girlfriend's hummus that she left in our fridge. The next afternoon, it was priceless to see the look of shock and horror as she realized she was eating bacon.
Vegans are dumb.
Although I abhor violence to living creatures ( 30 years a vegetarian ) I sometimes think how fitting it would be if a few of the flesh-eating apes were to see the food chain from the other end - if e.g someone were glue dog hair all over them and then send them to Korea or Guangzhou.
I wonder how quickly they would change their opinions on animal slaughter.( By the way, I have never had a meatmare, sounds like b.s. to me )
Save the world... eat a vegan!
Your body was designed through eons of evolution to consume meat. Your unconscious mind knows this, and it wants meat. Your experience of this dream as a "nightmare" is straight up cognitive dissonance. I bet celibates have weird, scary sex dreams too. Repression is bad for you. Your body wants the food it was designed for, your mind wants peace...
It always seems to me that veggies/greenies/hippy types in general want to deny that WE ARE ANIMALS, just like the others. Your animal self wants meat, and sex, and violence, and dominance. Be what you are, you silly ape.
I suggest you guys walk up to the nearest soldier back from deployment and tell them about your horrible dream.
To each their own. Someone doesn't want to eat meat, fine by me. With that said, I don't really feel any impulse to take flack from people who, by claiming some superior morality, flatly refuse to take on the responsibility inherent with their place in the food chain. The food chain system only works as a system if all the parts of the system function, including the part at the top. This is the same objection I have to Peter Singer's essay on speciesism (if you haven't read it, it's worth the read).
Some animals are predators and some are prey. You're one or the other.
I've been a vegetarian for years and this has never happened to me. Maybe the people who have these dreams need more protein. Or a hobby.
Anyone who bothers to concern themselves about what other people eat or don't eat should probably be doing a little more introspection. Should you feel the need to justify to others one way or the other, that's your subconscious telling you you're not quite sure about your own choices. If you think messing with someone's choices is funny, I hope someone gets to make a decision for you that you deeply disagree with, then force it on you, and laugh.
The only meatmares I have are about whipping out Mr Happy at the local McDonald's and giving myself a good wienie wanking while enjoying a Happy Meal. Oh wait, that WOULD take the people's minds off what they are EATING.
The whole idea of meat mares is so stupid to be unbelievable. What's next? Are we going to worry about SAND AT THE BEACH? My God, give me a break. I say we feed the vegans to the poor.
