Nightmares about food

Whenever I'm doing well and eating controlled portions of healthy food, just as I'm getting used to it, I almost always have dreams about eating.
The first time I had one I dreamt about eating chips, which was very forbidden to me then, and I woke up in the middle of the night wanting to go and throw up because I still thought I'd eaten them.
Last night I dreamt that I ate almost a whole jar of ginger tins, which would be like over 1 000 kcal, and I was conflicted whether to throw it up or try to compensate by working out.
Once I woke up this morning, I was relieved, but also happy that I don't binge a lot anymore. I really hate it when I want it gone and throwing up doesn't truly make it better for me because I almost never feel "clean" afterwards, like some people do after they purge.
I just hope that I never eat that amount of cookies in real life.
