Eating maggots occurs when the sleeping brain is processing the intake of something that offers no real substance or is fundamentally decayed. This dream shows how a person incorporates ideas or gains that actually damage mental clarity. The mind uses this image to flag the presence of an accumulation of something low or bothersome that has been taken in as if it were nourishment.
The assimilation of these symbols suggests a struggle with absorbing information or benefits that are tainted by corruption. Such a dream often points to the way a person handles a situation where the rewards are not worth the cost of the engagement. There is a risk of becoming preoccupied with matters that are merely a nuisance. Internal contamination happens when what is essentially waste is taken in. The awareness of this process provides a way to distinguish between true growth and the mere consumption of something hollow.
Accidentally eating maggots shifts the focus to an unconscious acceptance of a situation that is not beneficial. Because the act happens without intent, the dream indicates that the dreamer is currently absorbing something harmful or trivial without realizing its true nature.

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.
