you have vivid dreams about lifting. I swear, I have the weirdest dreams about lifting. Last night, I had a dream that I had to complain to the manager about the gym not having any squat racks. I also dreamt that I was bench pressing in a liquor store once. Anyone else have these weird lifting related dreams?

The only dreams I remember when I wake up are the ones that I die in. Which seems to happen A lot.
Mine lately have been a combo of lifting or strongman stuff and s_x .. they are hilarious.. at least for me..
My fav is squatting... and as soon as I'm done with a new 5 PPS PR, the wifey-poo congratulates me.. if you catch my driff... lol..:hump:
Otherwise.. I always daydream/dream/or visualize lifting... the dreams are mostly about lifting something that is 10-25 lbs more then I've done before (setting PRs)... or lifting the Atlas stones overhead - I don't know why overhead...
And when I go for walks with the family, I'm always daydreaming about lifting the big stones we walk by - I see both successes and failures... it's gotten so bad, that the kids & wife start laughing at me... the kids think it's kinda cool.. the wife wonders if I'm obsessed... I tell her it's better then being addicted to gambling or drugs... :p

I have frequent dreams about what i'll be training the next day. Usually before max effort lower days.
It's very, very weird and feels quite real.

While having sex with my gf I started bench pressing her because I missed my chest workout that day. True story.

I never have weightlifting dreams. Last night for instance, I was driving and yelled at some old lady for standing in my way and then her grandsons tried fighting me and pulled out a knife. Kinda weird, but thanks to ETS I can vividly remember in detail what they looked like :)

yeah, I don't take ETS or ZMA, so I don't know why I always have these very vivid dreams.. it's probably b/c of all the water/milk I drink. I always have to get up in the middle of the night to piss. So maybe I'm waking up right after one of my dreams is ending and that's why I remember.

For your sake I hope your bench is low. :clown:

^lol, I've had one dream which resembled that scene from a Sylvester Stallone movie where he holds the barbell over the guys face and threatens to drop it. Well, I dropped it, it was kinda hard to keep holding 370 lbs in place.

I don't dream about it all that much, but lately I've been day dreaming about it.

I was going to correct that, but at least I'm a chick, so I can say I listened to them growing up (even though I thought they were gay and prefered hard rock). I'm more concerned with how you knew that.

I've never dreamt about lifting which is strange because I think about it all the time. Even at work, which is where I'm at now. ;)

I had a dream where I was competing at a bench press competition which was judged by a horse, and I step on the platform and a large smith machine was sitting there.
It doesn't get any scarier than that.
