An interpretation of excrement dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Excrement in a dream can be a graphic way of expressing how you feel about something—a situation, a person, how you are treated, your life. It can symbolize something unwanted that needs to get out of you. It can be a sign that you’re holding onto things that are no good for you. Excrement is the end process of digestion, and “to digest” means to process. In this sense, excrement can symbolize something you processed emotionally or psychologically. The word “shit” is so versatile. You can feel like shit. You can be in a world of shit. You can feel like your ideas or efforts are shit. You can get caught in a shit storm. Shitting in public can mean you publicly humiliate yourself. You “stepped in it” in a very public way. Or you strongly object to something. Dreams can respond to signals in the body, so dreaming about excrement can be a response to the physical feeling of needing to move your bowels. The entry for Devil has a great example of excrement used as symbolism. See also: Anuses, Bathrooms, Devils, Eating, Food, Toilets
