Starvation
To dream of starvation represents your feelings of longing for an opportunity. Lacking something. Desire for something to happen. Desperation for attention, love, power, or status. An impoverished or ignored aspect of yourself. Seeing others starve may reflect you attempts to avoid someone in need. You may be ignoring or avoiding an important family/emotional issue. Feeling that you are not being nourished emotionally or intellectually. Feeling cut off from relationship or power you used to have.
Alternatively, the dream may be reflecting you awareness or struggle with an eating disorder.
