Dreamers Dictionary

by Garuda
Symbol: The crab symbolizes resurrection, since it renews/ changes its protective shell regularly.

Vision: Looking at one or more crabs: your plans are delayed (one step forward—three steps back) and it will take time to get back on track.

If you or others are eating crabs: your financial situation will improve. Having cancer: somebody wants to destroy your livelihood—expose this as quickly as possible!

Depth Psychology: This animal is a sign that some of your personality traits are in conflict with your values and/or the environment. Seeing a crab in your dreams often means you are too accommodating.

If you dream that you have cancer, it is important to know where the cancer is located (the head, neck, chest, stomach, etc.).

The Complete Dream Book

by Gillian Holloway
Catching crabs in a dream indicates a complicated state of affairs in a courtship or in matrimony, though not necessarily beyond hope of solution. Eating crabs is an indication that selfishness is likely to get you into difficulties. Seeing them displayed for sale predicts that a mystery will shortly cause you great concern.
