What does anorexia mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation
Mary Leyen
Dream Expert,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about suffering from anorexia could symbolize feelings of inadequacy or lack of control in your waking life. That's the simple dream interpretation, at least.
It may reflect your self-esteem issues or a desire for perfection that's causing self-harm.
Alternatively, it could represent a situation where you're depriving yourself of something vital. A dream about someone else struggling with anorexia might indicate your concern for that person's well-being, or it could symbolize your own fears and anxieties projected onto them. It's important to remember that dreams are subjective and their meanings can vary based on personal experiences.
Anorexia is a somewhat complex and fascinating dream image to interpret. To really know with any kind of confidence, it would be necessary to really get to know the dreamer's life and mindset.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation
Ernesto Andrahi
Psychoanalyst,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
Dreaming of oneself grappling with anorexia may embody a manifestation of the ego's struggle with self-worth, a Freudian reflection of the superego's unattainable ideals.
This can be a complex dream concept. It could also signify a subconscious self-deprivation, a manifestation of the psyche's yearning for control amidst chaos. Conversely, dreaming of another's struggle with anorexia could be a projection of one's own anxieties, a transference of the self's fears onto the other. It might also indicate a deep-seated concern for the other's welfare, a reflection of the id's empathetic tendencies. Remember, dreams are the royal road to the unconscious, a unique blend of personal experiences and universal symbols.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming about suffering from anorexia may be a spiritual call to examine areas in your life where you feel starved or deprived, not necessarily of food, but of love, fulfillment, or purpose. It's a cry from your soul to nourish yourself on a deeper level. Conversely, dreaming of someone else struggling with anorexia might be a spiritual nudge to extend compassion and understanding to others who are suffering. It could also be a reflection of your own fears and insecurities, projected onto another. Remember, dreams are a divine language, a sacred dialogue between your conscious and unconscious self, revealing profound truths about your spiritual journey.
