DREAM THEME
Dreaming of meat
Vinaya Katoch Manhas

MEAT is associated with blood and death and hence a dream of meat can produce feelings of fear and disgust in the dreamer.

As per Indian thought, to see cut meat hanging in a butcher’s shop is an omen of ill will. It means that you shall face massive financial losses. Should you see yourself as a butcher cutting meat for others then it means that you shall be called upon to help others. You shall get recognition for your generosity and your willingness to help others. If you see yourself cutting the meat for yourself then it means that you shall prosper. Lady luck shall favor your in your professional life. But if you see yourself eating meat then it denotes ill luck. It foretells illness.

As per western thought, for a person to dream of eating raw meat, foretells discouraging prospects. Should he be eating cooked meat then it means that the rewards he has been eyeing shall go to others. Seeing carcasses hanging in a butcher’s shop is an omen of ill will.

Eating certain foods is significant for their role in satisfying certain psychological needs. As meat denotes physical and worldly desires, eating meat denotes the satisfaction of such desires. Raw meat is associated with aggressiveness or a fear of some impending misfortune. Should you see yourself purchasing or consuming cured meat, then it denotes your need for preservation.

A 34-year-old woman would often dream of running through a deep freeze area in a butcher’s shop. Limbs of animals would be hanging there. Then she would see herself in a meat shop purchasing one of the limbs, tearing it with her teeth and eating it raw in the shop itself. The dream is indicative of an aggressive instinct in her which she is trying to ignore, but it is so strong that she is unable to subdued it and it seems to come out in a more aggressive form. Her tearing the raw meat from the animal limb with her teeth denotes this. Her running away denotes her fear of accepting the aggressive part of her personality. Accepting and dealing with her aggressiveness would help the woman stop having such dreams.
