Nightmares before competition????

[TooPowerful4u]

I guarantee this is half the board lol. Ok, i was just thinking. Whenever i get close to a show i get nightmares almost every night or every other night. Its always the same 2 dreams. The more frequent one is that im back stage looking around, everyone is ripped...and somehow i forgot to diet! Its too late now, time to go on stage, all this preparation for nothing, now its too late...im fucked. Another one is that its time to go on stage, i have no tan and i forgot my posing trunks and everything i need. Its almost stage time, everyone is walking out....and its too late!

How many people have dreams like this? Why do you think we have dreams like this?

I dont compete in bodybuilding but have competed in other sports in highschool and college and would get dreams like that. In my case, it is that i am so fucking competitive that my biggest hate is loosing. This hate
towards failure makes my mind become prefectionist and every detail seems like it can lead to failure somehow.


Or l i remember before a swimming meet i had a dream that i was drowning at the meet. I remember before this competition my coach told me i couldnt get better than third in the competition and my hate towards loosing domintated me. while having that dream of me drowning i woke up and walked around and started picturing myself winning and went to bed. Next day i went to the meet and took 1st place!

I guess our mind just plays games with us. use these dreams to reach perfection as they represent your fear on how you could fuck up. These dreams show your knowladge that every detail is important in bodybuilding. This also shows your competitiveness that you always show. Its so confusing. I think you should really try to overcome this as it shows that you are not completely confident about the competition aswell. Try to picture yourself placing high and believe me after looking ate the Vtaper in your Avi you got little to worry.

I am glad that I am not the only one

Yes TP for many years I was a baseball player and I played Catcher. For as long as I could remember I would always have the dream that the game had started, we had taken the field and I just couldn't get all of my equipment on. I was alway missing a shin gaurd, my mitt, chest protecter, etc .. In recent years since I started competing this dream has been replaced by similar bodybuilding type dreams. In my dreams now I often times have forgotten my trunks or tanning products.

Even back in High School I before big Basketball games or track meets I use to always dream I was late and missed the bus...I was one of the best Cross Country runners in the state so I was always super nervous and stressed before a big meet and every time I would dream I would get lost on the course...I get chills just thinking about those dreams right now...LOL...
