Dreaming about Eating too much
Overeating in dreams shifts the reading toward excess, compulsion, or trying to fill something that food cannot fill. The act is the same; the saturation changes the meaning.
Common interpretations
Freudian
In the Freudian frame, overeating in a dream typically points to an appetite that has slipped its usual restraint. The wish is no longer permitted in measured form and presses through as excess. Often the food itself is a substitute for what the dreamer actually wants and cannot easily admit.
A dreamer eats past fullness and cannot stop. The reading often suggests a desire, affectionate, sexual, or acquisitive, that has not found another outlet and is showing up at the table instead.
