What Does It Mean to Dream About Cannibalism?

Cannibalism is the act of consuming another individual of the same species as food. In our dreams this can be metaphoric relating to people who feed or consume the energy of others. This is why we are often attacked by cannibals in our dream indicating that this attack has directly affected the dreamer. A symbol that reflects the people who have power over you; to consume by feeding off of your vital energy to benefit for themselves. If you dream of witnessing a cannibal attack it shows that you might be seeing other people being affected by these antisocial people and their is nothing you can do about it.

To dream of a cannibal represents destructive or forbidden obsessions with achieving goals. Turning on people you care about, breaking promises to suit yourself, or a "no holds barred" type mentality. No sanctity, morality, or social barriers to getting your way. Screwing over people you like to help yourself. Winning even if it means attacking friends, family, or co-workers.

Situations in waking life where you may be experiencing the ultimate act of selfishness, taboo, or greed. Desperation to survive a problem that drives one to hurt others who care about you or do something socially unacceptable.
