Owen SterlingBeing eaten by a monster occurs when the mind meets a pressure that feels too vast to control. This dream is a rehearsal for the moment when a person finds they can no longer hold their ground against what is coming. The brain is looking for where the edges of the self are being worn away by what is happening in life.
The process of being swallowed whole suggests a fear that the self is being erased by a situation that is too large to struggle against. When the dreamer is being eaten by a monster, the mind is working through the experience of a threat that is a complete and absolute presence. This can involve a feeling that one’s boundaries are dissolving under the weight of a crisis. The capacity to resist is being tested by the sheer scale of the perceived danger. The mind finds a way to acknowledge the presence of this pressure, which allows for a recognition of the scale of the challenge.

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.
