The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
If it is confirmed that the dream does not have a physiological origin (sometimes we have the urge to eat when we are asleep), hunger can indicate the presence of some dissatisfaction, in most cases intellectual. This image, therefore, represents the soul’s desire to find the answer to deep questions. When the dream repeats often and the hunger is never satiated, it may reflect sexual problems or problems with communication with a partner.

If the hunger is satisfied, it is important to pay attention to what calmed it, since that may be necessary in your waking life. (See EATING and APPETITE)

Popular superstition says that the hungrier you are in dreams, the more destiny smiles on you.

Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- Experiencing hunger in a dream indicates that our physical, emotional or mental needs arc not being properly satisfied.

It is possible that the dreamer is actually hungry, and this is being recognised in the dream.

2- Every human being has needs which require satisfaction. While that lack of satisfaction may not be acknowledged in the waking state, it can be translated into dream symbolism and become hunger.

3- Seeking Spiritual satisfaction and fulfilling a need is one aspect of hunger.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
In a dream, hunger means wearing the garments of mourning, being seized by fear, or tightening one’s fist. Hunger in a dream also represents financial losses, eagerness to maintain a certain level of standards, persistence in seeking one’s livelihood or pursuing one’s trade, or love for the world. Some dream interpreters prefer hunger over satiation and thist over thirst-quenching in a dream.

If one sees himself hungry during the winter season in a dream, it means that he will be tried with gluttony. Ifone’s hunger lasts long in the dream, it means that he will receive benefits after a long wait. Hunger in a dream is also considered to mean money, bad company, jesting, asceticism, fasting, inflation, deprivation, poverty and perhaps sometimes it may mean piety and fear of wrongdoing, or remembering and thanking God Almighty.
