Eating crabs in a dream signifies the work of working through a prickly or defensive situation to reach what lies inside. The sleeping brain uses this imagery to rehearse the extraction of something beneficial from a source that is inherently resistant or prickly. This mental sorting often occurs when the dreamer tries to handle a person or a circumstance that demands constant care and persistence.
The struggle to reach the reward brings friction and irritability. While the dream points toward the successful acquisition of what is needed, the mechanism of the dream acknowledges that the process is rarely smooth. The dreamer finds that the gains made are often accompanied by the minor discomfort of having to bypass protective layers. Getting what is needed involves dealing with the sharpness of the source.

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.
