What does dreaming about being fat mean?

Identifying a certain group of people by a single characteristic (fat people, blonde people, Italian people, bearded people) can be tricky. It may be that the characteristic you remember (fat) might not have been the point of the dream. For example, perhaps you dreamed of grandmothers, who all happen to be "fat" by some standards. By looking at the single quality of body size and overlooking other factors, you might mistake the point of the dream. On the other hand, the dream might be a message from your own mind, suggesting that you have been placing too much importance on body size rather than on total fitness or personal development.
