Cannibalism in your dreams can be absolutely terrifying, whether you are being eaten or you are the one eating. Of course, this dream does not mean that you want to physically harm someone else or that you are going to be physically harmed. However, it can illustrate the emotional toll that is sometimes taken on other people.
The most important thing is to remain calm after this type of nightmare, and clearly decide what your dream is trying to show you.
In your dream you can have
- Become a cannibal.
- It has been eaten by someone!
- I’ve seen someone eat another person.
- He has been chased by a cannibal.
- I have been afraid of cannibalism.
- You have been tricked into eating people, or you have only found out that you eat human flesh after the fact.
- You have been forced into cannibalism.
Positive changes are afoot if
- You successfully escaped from a cannibal.
- You felt guilty in your dream for any cannibalistic act.
The detailed interpretation of sleep
A dream about cannibalism can be saying any of several things about your relationships with other people. By physically consuming another person in your dream, you get as close to that person as humanly possible. If you find yourself eating another person in your dream, don’t panic!
You want to be closer to other people and you are not sure how to do it. Your social skills can improve; try to be a better listener so that more people feel like they can come to you with their problems. By changing little things that don’t affect who you are, you can expand your number of friends and make others feel comfortable around you.
If you dream that you eat a specific person that you recognize, it is likely that you have certain problems with that specific person. Either you feel that you are too close to this person or you are afraid that you are not close enough. Either way, your subconscious is trying to show you that you need to be honest with this other person in order to work on your relationship.
A cannibalism dream can also show your lack of individuality. You depend on other people to identify who you are. You want to be like everyone else, so you approach those whose qualities you would like to have. Normally this would be a good thing, but in your dream you are worried that you are not holding on to the things that make you an individual. Try to maintain a healthy balance between the qualities that make you unique and the good qualities that you pick up from others.
If in your dream you were eaten by another person, then you feel that you have been suffocated by other people or other responsibilities in your life. Too many people expect too much of you. You are overwhelmed by your responsibilities and feel like you have to please too many people at once. Tell people close to you that school, work, and personal time are important to you and that you may need to spend some time apart. If they don’t respect this, then they may not be true friends.
If the cannibal in your dream is someone you know, then you may have mixed feelings towards that person. You may feel like there is something they are not telling you that you need to know. Try to get a little closer to this person to prevent your dreams from being cannibalism for your loved ones.
This dream is associated with the following scenarios in your life
- Relations with other people.
