Fat

Universal Landscape: Additional protection and provision.

Dreaming Lens: Were you fat? Was someone in your dream fat? Was the fat extracted and separate from a body? Was being fat part of a conversation? What was the emotional content around the issue of fat? Was there an element of amusement? Was there shame involved?

Personal Focus: At its most fundamental level, fat is the mammalian body’s way of creating stores of energy to be tapped into during times of lack. The human body can live on its own fat cells for quite a long time. It is for this reason that as we age, we carry more of them. This was designed to protect the old who fell low in the pecking order for food in early civilization. Fat also serves the physiological need for warmth as it offers protection from temperatures in colder climates. In this way, the Universal Landscape meaning for fat represents provisions for future needs as well as protective measures that aid in survival.

The conundrum with this symbol comes into play by virtue of our current cultural and social view of excess weight. We are obsessed with impossibly thin body types as ideal and anything falling short of this is considered unattractive. This makes the presence of fat in a dream a potentially highly-charged image to interpret. For most people, being fat is associated with sloth, blame, and shame. The media virulently reinforces this perspective. Therefore, your Personal Focus with regard to fat as a symbol must connect to your own experience of your body shape and size.

Gaining weight in a dream could point out an unconscious need to gain protection from emotional stress. It can also indicate a need to put a protective barrier between yourself and the outside world. Losing weight could represent either a shedding of old defenses or a depletion of resources. Look to areas in your life where you may be feeling a sense of lack or fears of future limitation.

Being fat in a dream is a straightforward symbol of overindulgence, but it can also represent wealth and opulence.

The dreaming mind often literalizes common verbal expressions in an effort to convey something to the conscious mind. Thus, an image of a fat person in a dream can indicate anything from a “fat cat,” to “fat chance,” to “fathead,” to “fat city.” (See also Obesity).
