Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 129   |  Does anyone ever lift in their dreams? In my dream last night, I was in a field with some rusty old weights and a barbell, so I just started deadlifting. I kept adding more and more weight to the bar, eventually shattering my PR by a couple hundred pounds. Then I woke up and realized that my deadlift numbers aren't that high at all  But hey, talk about goal setting! Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'visualization'  |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 22 | I dream about lifting all the time. I had a dream the other day that I was posing down at 225 at an all natural show to 'Buried In Black' by Kingdom of Sorrow. I took first overall. It was pretty inspiring. Of course I got up the next afternoon and saw my big ole gut in the mirror, but I could SEE what I was working towards. |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 121 | if by lifting you mean having sex.... then most certainly. I suppose I've never done any heavy pulling in my dreams.
