What eating broken glass in a dream means
The short answer: The things we eat in dreams show how well our needs are being fed in waking life. Broken glass points to something you hungered for, often a relationship, that at first fed your needs and desires but now causes pain because certain hopes and ideals have been shattered. Chewing on it means you have been chewing on, or thinking about, the situation.
A reader’s broken-glass dream
Dear Lauri,
I was eating some food with this guy I have a love-hate relationship with. I suddenly noticed I was chewing on a piece of broken glass. I gave it to the guy, who acted concerned, and he took action to go report the incident. Very quickly he returned and I can remember just spitting and vomiting out a pile of glass that was almost as tall as I was. I couldn’t stop it from forming in my mouth. I just kept constantly spitting. It was really weird. – Kyra 37, Chicago, IL
What I told Kyra
Lauri: What your dream is showing you is that something you “hungered” for in waking life (which is most likely the relationship with this person), at first “fed” your needs and desires but now is causing you pain because certain hopes and ideals have been shattered (the broken glass). You are chewing on the glass because chewing is a metaphor for thinking about something “chew on this” as they say. Have you been thinking about speaking up to this person? You give him a piece of the glass because you must have offered up a piece of your mind to him in real life. The way he shows concern, takes it and reports it, seems to indicate that he came across to you as really caring about what you had to say and perhaps even promised to behave. But alas, his quick return in the dream means he quickly returned to his old ways. And this is why, at that moment, you began vomiting… because you need to purge yourself of this unhealthy relationship immediately. The more vomit, the more urgent it is. Might be best to move on from him so that glass is no longer a part of your dietary intake.
Kyra’s reply
Kyra replies: Wow! You hit the nail on the head. I have not voiced my concerns to him yet, BUT there is a whole lot I have been holding in . You really have helped to shine some light on my situation.
In my dream, I was in a church gathering, where I was looked at as a bad person or sort of different and unreligious from every other person, and then suddenly, I picked up a sort of white eraser, not one but a few which I thought was good and put one in my pocket and the rest in my mouth but it turns out to be broken pieces of bottles and I started spitting and vomiting them…
I felt myself vomiting them till I woke up this morning and still felt it till I went to rinse my mouth with water.
Please what does it mean?
In my dream, I was in my hometown that looked like a post apocalyptic wasteland and 2 strangers were with me, a man and a woman. I started eating glass, realized it, and for whatever reason just kept chewing. I didn’t think much of it, as if it was food. Suddenly the woman became very concerned and started freaking out. She alerted the man and they both started staring at me with concern. I Asked them “what’s wrong, am I bleeding?” I spit out the glass and there was no blood and I showed them this. I continued eating the glass while they stared before waking up.
When you type “eating glass” on google, the first thing that comes up is that “eating glass in your dream can be a direct message to shut up.” Immediately I thought of a recent comment I made on reddit (which was an article about pain patients medications being restricted) that some people took completely wrong. It was coming from a good place and I was accused of making medical decisions for people, was told to shut up, stop speaking, in an idiot. I endlessly defended myself in paragraphs before giving up. Could this be related to my dream? Does it mean I need to shut up and stop sharing my opinions?
