Do you dream yourself fat or skinny?

When I fall asleep at night and dream. . .  I dream myself skinny.  My subconscious sees myself as skinny — or rather, at my “target” weight.  In my dreams, I look great!

A few weeks ago, I actually dreamed myself fat.  Is my subconscious just a little slow in acknowledging reality?  I doubt it.

I’ve found that when I look into a mirror, I’m probably not as critical as I should be.  I have a difficult time seeing the rolls and bulges that are so blatantly obvious in photographs.  Instead, I see a Photoshopped version of what’s really there.  Is this a defensive mechanism?  Or am I just blind to my own flaws unless they’re accompanied with a click and a shutter?

I’ve been looking through some older photographs of myself and trying to see the real me.  Or at least, trying to see what other people see when they look at me. It’s all very perplexing. 

Does anyone else share this problem or am I just weird? 

When YOU dream, how do you see yourself?
