Dream about eating boogers

Eating boogers points to a way of speaking that brings a small, stinging shame to the mouth. When you use your words to pull at petty grievances or to soil the air with unseemly talk, you find yourself consuming the very things that should be cast aside. This habit of speech often stems from a desire to settle small irritations, yet it only serves to keep the mind tethered to what is unclean.

We have seen that those who dwell on such minor ugliness in their speech eventually lose the taste for higher things. When the tongue becomes a tool for small, biting comments, the dignity of the household begins to fray at the edges. You may feel the weight of this clumsiness in your own heart, child, as the words you choose leave a residue that is hard to wash away. The elders keep a silence that honors the community, and to break that silence with foulness is to feed on your own discomfort. Still, the clarity that comes from letting go of these small irritations brings a lightness to your spirit and your home. May your words always be as clean as the morning air.

Picking boogers shows that you are reaching out to touch these small irritations yourself. Because you are the one seeking out the source of the trouble, the shame of the speech is more closely tied to your own hand and intention.
