Efua NyansaEating nails means you are taking in a way of life that offers no softness and no easy way to hold onto what is yours. We have seen that when a person tries to sustain themselves on what is meant only to fasten things together, they find that their own strength becomes a hard and brittle thing. This dream shows how you are consuming the very tools that were meant to provide stability, turning your own defense into something that can only harm you.
You are attempting to build a life by absorbing the very things that should be staying outside of you to hold your world in place. This way of living is seen to wear down the spirit of a household because it lacks the grace that allows people to lean on one another. When you make such a harsh thing your nourishment, you find yourself unable to find rest even in your own home. There is a weight in this dream, for the hardness you take in makes it difficult to find any place of gentleness. May your hands find what is truly nourishing and may your house be filled with the strength that does not bite.
Swallowing nails or picking nails changes the way you meet your needs by making the act of seeking support a source of internal struggle. Whether you are selecting them or letting them go down, you are choosing a path where the very things you seek for stability only serve to complicate your inner peace, child.
Eating fingernails turns this dream toward a loss of the small things that protect your person. Because you are consuming your own natural defenses, you are losing the subtle ways you keep yourself safe from the world.

Whoever stood beside you in the dream matters as much as what you saw, and the path behind you matters as much as the one ahead. Look, a dream with your people in it has already done half its work. May the name you were given keep you well.
