Dream of eating a CD

Since I was a child, I've had one dream recur about six times, where I'm sat in front of a plate with a fork and I'm eating a CD. Like, literally a compact disc. It's always shiny-side up, already broken into a few pieces before I even start biting parts off, and tastes oily & slightly salty.

I've never been able to find anyone who's had a similar dream and Google's advertising of audio CDs makes it impossible to search for an interpretation of it. I've always been rather sceptical about dream analysis, but I'm willing to put it out there to see if anyone can have a crack at it.

Hey welcome to Dreamviews, :content:
Well I'm afraid that the only ideas I have is you either hate/love music or anything that could can be stored on a CD. You could try a website called dream moods, this has helped me out through the years :)
Good luck I hope you find out if this means anything after all it could just be a recurring random dream, I had them all the time.

Let me provide you with some ideas to play with. First, a dream recurs when the basic issue of the dream has not been resolved. In this case, it seems you are hungry for something, trying to fill a basic need, therefore the scene of eating...over and over again. The broken pieces of CD could represent many things, and this is where other dreams you experience or association techniques might help you figure out which of the possibilities it really is. The CD may be about the music or the memories associated with music. Are the memories broken? A CD is also a circle, which is archetypal and represents wholeness. In this case, the wholeness is fragmented. The CD doesn't sound like it tastes very good, so it may represent something offensive to you. Figuring out what you might need in your life that is simultaneously offensive may be the answer to your problem. It is not uncommon for the unconscious to need something that the conscious (ego) doesn't particularly want to eat.

You can now probably think of other ideas that fit the pattern of the dream. Good luck!

Compact Disc
To see a compact disc in your dream represents a need for enjoyment or a distraction. It also points to the opportunities and possibilities within your grasp. Consider the type of music and the title of the compact disc. If you are giving away the CD, then you may be trying to convey a message to that person within the songs. Alternatively, the CD is analogous to the meaning of a circle.

Consider also if the initial "CD" have any additional significance to you. Perhaps it may even be a pun on something that is "seedy".

Eating
To dream that you are eating alone signifies loss, loneliness, and depression. You may feel rejected, excluded, and cut off from social/family ties. Eating may be a replacement for companionship and provide a form of comfort. Alternatively, eating alone reflects independent needs. Also consider the pun, "what's eating you up?" in reference to anxiety that you may be feeling.

To dream that you are eating with others signifies harmony, intimacy, merriness, prosperous undertakings, personal gain, and/or joyous spirits.

To dream that you are overeating or not eating enough signifies a lack of spirituality and fulfillment in your waking life. Food can represent love, friendship, ambition, sex or pleasure in your life. Thus, food is a metaphor to fulfill and gratify your hunger for love and desires. If you are refusing to eat, then it indicates that you want to be more independent and not rely on others so much. If you dream that you are a picky eater, then it indicates that you are holding back something. If you are currently dieting in your waking life, then the dream may serve to compensate for the sustenance that you are lacking.

To dream that someone clears away the food before you finish eating foretells that you will have problems and issues from those beneath you or dependent upon you.

Yes, I doubt there is such a thing as a random recurring dream. Just a meaningful recurring one.

A good answer, especially broken and fragmented whole.
But I wonder if it's not about music. If it is broken memory, could an option be your memory recorded on the CD?

Anyway, I thought at first it may be you trying to ingest what you should listen to. And it just doesn't work.
You are supposed to listen to a CD.
And hence it's broken. You cannot receive the whole information this way.

And, that it started as a child and the CD had the attractive shiny side up, could it mean you ignorantly or naively tried to eat what looked good on the surface, instead of properly receiving that information intended?
So, maybe the musical quality is about you wanting to be in tune or harmony or rhythm in your life, but not thinking carefully about it to make it real. Or the CD can just be to demonstrate the main meaning.

Tastes oily & slightly salty is what is bad for you, I think.
