Eating Dream Meaning

Dreaming of eating usually reflects a wish to fill some inner need. It is not only about hunger. It also stands for trying to take in and digest an experience, a piece of news or a feeling from your waking life. What you eat and how you eat it change the meaning.

• Enjoying a favorite food

  Eating a food you love slowly and with pleasure shows that your mind is content with some part of your life right now.

• Eating in a hurry or in secret

  You are carrying hidden guilt about some desire.

• Eating something rotten or strange

  You are being made to accept something in your life that you do not actually like.

• Eating alone

  This speaks of a need to spend some time on your own.

• Eating with many people

  A big meal where everyone sits down together shows a longing to stay close to the people you love.

Eating is one of the body's most basic needs, so this dream rarely carries a complicated message. It tells you directly what your mind wants to be filled with right now.
