Cannibalism often occurs in desperate times or in situations of extreme need. It is most often a last-resort for survival. To dream of cannibalism could indicate your own neediness in some area of your life. Further it could be a sign of feeling pushed to your very limits and needing to take desperate measures to ensure your own survival. Further, cannibalism could represent your own cannibalism of yourself. As in, you are sacrificing or “eating” part of yourself to feed another part of yourself.
