Eat / Eating

To not eat or refuse food indicates an avoidance of growth and change. We may be attempting to isolate ourselves from others or be in conflict with ourselves over our body image. Being eaten in a dream signifies we are aware of being attacked by our own – or possibly other people’s – emotions and fears or by our internal drives. Being eaten by a wild animal shows the likelihood of us being consumed by our more basic, animal nature.

If you dream about stuffing yourself or feeling sick when eating, you are feeling nervous or guilty about a friendship situation.

To dream of eating alone means you’re feeling sad.

To dream that you are watching others eat, means you feel left out of “the banquet of life” - you need more fulfillment, love and friendship in your waking life. Also see “Eating Disorder”, below.
