Crab or cancer in a dream

A dream about cancer or a crab predicts various kinds of failures. For a sailor, it foreshadows probable death at sea.

The meaning of the dream “crab” according to the dream book of Artemidor (2nd century)

Shrimp, crabs, crayfish and lobsters in a dream

Those fish that shed their skin (at that time these included shrimp, crabs, crayfish and lobsters) dream of good things for the sick, prisoners, the poor and anyone in trouble: this means that they will be released from their difficulties. They also often foretell blows due to the fact that they beat themselves, and departure to a foreign land, because they are amphibians.

Few people will be surprised these days with a delicacy made from crab, and even dreaming about crab sticks will certainly not raise any questions, except for one thing: why do you dream about this dish? Looking at various dream books, you can find several interpretations of this image, therefore, in order not to make a mistake with the interpretation, first remember all the details you saw in the dream, and only then begin to decipher the plot.

Gustav Miller's predictions

If you dreamed of crabs or products made from their meat, then this means that you have problems whose solution cannot be put off “for later.” Also take into account the fact that resolving complex issues will require ingenuity and common sense from you, Miller’s dream book suggests.

For lovers, crab sticks in a dream can mean a long period of grinding into each other. It is likely that they will quarrel and disagree, but, in the end, still come to terms with the shortcomings of their partners.

Eat chopsticks, or you will face a period of “struggle”

According to Aesop's dream book, eating crab meat in the form of sticks or pieces in a dream is a symbol of victory over the stubbornness of a friend or relative. If in a dream you felt that the sticks you were chewing were very hard, then be prepared for the fact that your confrontation will last a long time.

But the Modern Dream Book, when interpreting why one dreams of eating crab sticks, draws attention to the need to tighten self-control. You have been allowing yourself too much lately, this can lead to problems, the dream interpreter suggests.

Cooking: From help from friends to new acquaintances

Dream books offer a different interpretation of the dream, deciphering why you dream of preparing a salad or other dishes using crab sticks.

Did you dream that you were cutting the meat of marine arthropods into pieces and adding it to a salad? You can be sure that your friends will help you cope with any difficulty by dividing your responsibilities and problems among themselves.

See how you make crab soup? An exciting pastime awaits you in the company of interesting interlocutors, whom you will meet in the very near future, the Italian dream book pleases.

Spoiled product as a symbol of trouble

To explain what spoiled crab sticks promise in a dream, Longo’s dream book is taken. If you see yourself opening a package with an expired or rotten product and smelling a strong unpleasant odor, then this is a sign that you will hear unpleasant conversations about yourself.

But taking a piece of rotten crustacean meat into your mouth and feeling bitterness is a signal that you yourself are “sinning” with slander. Please note that empty chatter with “washing up the bones” and the spread of obviously false rumors are two different things, and the consequences of gossip can be very sad.

Seeing other manipulations in a dream

When deciphering what crab sticks mean in dreams, it’s worth remembering everything you did with them in your dream. Here, for example, are the interpretations interpreters offer for some of your actions:

To a friend: short disagreements are possible.
