You know you’re in comp prep…..




When the strange and funny comp dreams kick in!

Most figure and bodybuilding gals are familiar with those odd and sometimes hilarious dreams that weave through our brains while getting ready for a comp…especially in those first few comps. Personally, I had a few doozies back in 2008...and they’ve started again. Had my first comp dream of the season this week; it wasn’t particularly long….in my dream, I had received my comp kini, but the bottoms were way too big-and I hadn’t even dieted down yet. So, what do I do? Well, put them in the toaster to shrink them down, naturally! I walked away, though, and sort of forgot about them-and yep, you guessed it-burnt comp kini! Dang! That was about it….but let that be a lesson to you all-don’t put the kini in the toaster to shrink, no matter how good of an idea it may seem at the time; you are probably carb deprived!

So, what have been some your crazy comp dreams? Do you still get them even after you’ve been competing consistently for a few years?

Have a great weekend!
Ciao for now!

LOL the toaster, well they'd be nice and warm! i remember just dreaming about food a lot, and wake up going phew i didn't actually eat all those cupcakes! i love it when i dream though cos i hardly ever remember them. last night i dreamt i was breastfeeding.... arrghhh!

Lauren said...

Hehehehehehe!!!!!!! That is hilarious Raechelle. Never thought of the toaster as a shrinking machine!!!! LOL!! I can't wipe the smile off my face!!!!

I am an avid and very clear dreamer most of the time (and I dream in colour), and always have been. My husband thinks it is amazing when I tell him of some of my dreams. I dream nearly every night.....so it will be really interesting to see what manifests in my dream space when I am on comp prep!

Have a great day my lovely friend!

P.S. I don't think I will be able to look at the toaster for a while with out laughing!!!!

LOL Steph! I am surprised that I didn't dream about food actually-most of mine totally had to do with the stage prep...hehe

Can't wait to see what you dream about Lauren-I'm sure you'll end up w/some interesting ones. I had a real doozy last comp prep where I had forgotten to shave or wax or anything and ended up on stage with a super duper hairy back and arms...looking like a gorilla..LOL!
Fun times...haha!

OMG Raechelle, I have comp dreams but I don't think ANY of them come close to that! GOLD!! hehe
Mine usually relate to turning up on the day completely unprepared. No base tan, no Dream Tan, no bikini, no shoes, hair and makeup forgotten about...I have had this kind of dream LOADS of times, and they don't seem to die down no matter how many comps I've done!

I never had ANY whilst prepping, but a couple of random weird comp dreams happened months after. Weird.

Good to see you kicking it!

Tara said...

Oh the comp dreams... yours sounds like a doozy!! lol

I had some weird ones last night, none yet about comps yet. Had one the other nite about tadpoles and frogs, but they were cartoon tadpols and frogs, but jumping and wriggling around in my back yard. was weird!

Surprised I havent had a comp one yet since i am only 8wks away from comp.
