This is really a dream fragment from the night before last. Remembering it still this morning makes it seem significant. In the dream, I realize that I could drink water between meals instead of eating snacks. This seems like a brilliant idea, healthy and satisfying at the same time.
Interpretation: Yesterday I interpreted it literally. "My body is asking for more water and less food." This morning I realize that it could also be metaphoric. In dreams, water is often a symbol for the flow of feelings. So maybe this dream fragment is telling me that I'm snacking to escape my feelings. Why not just feel them?
This isn't a new idea of course. But the dream makes it feel more personal. "Cathy, this is an idea for you personally, and for now." It will be interesting to see what happens if I remember this as I drink a glass of water - imagining that I'm actually drinking feelings.
