Owen SterlingBody parts in a dream appear when the sense of a unified life or a gathered strength is breaking into pieces. The brain uses these images to process the feeling that a core strength is no longer integrated or that the connections between different aspects of a life are failing.
This processing often occurs when a person feels that their ability to act or to remain unified is being compromised by external pressures or internal shifts. The dream identifies a state where the capacity to function as a single, directed entity is diminished. The dreamer feels the weight of a strength that is no longer whole or a power that is slipping away. The dreamer finds a way to face the reality of this fragmentation.
The presence of finding body parts, eating body parts, or rotting body parts shifts the focus toward how the dreamer attempts to manage this lack of integrity. Whether the parts are being recovered, consumed to regain strength, or seen in a state of decay, the dream is working through the various ways a person tries to reconcile with a broken state. These images show the effort to either reclaim or process what has become disconnected.
Eating body parts in a dream suggests a desperate attempt to reabsorb a lost strength. The dreamer seeks to pull the scattered pieces back into the self to become one again.
A dream of losing body parts signals a sudden deficit in the power available to the dreamer. This imagery prepares the mind for the experience of a sudden, vital gap in one’s own ability.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
