What does eating your own head in your dream mean?

This dream suggests that one is reconsidering one's own thoughts or beliefs. The head represents the intellect, along with memories, thoughts and what one has learned. Eating the head represents consuming, in the sense of "chewing on" or "ruminating." While it is more common, at least in English-speaking countries, to use visual metaphors such as "looking over" one's beliefs, this dream illustrates the same thing: reexamining the things (thoughts, ideas, and beliefs) that one has in one's head.
