Octopus, squid - dependence influential people.
To see a squid in your dream, suggests that you are feeling unconsciously threatened. Your judgment may also be clouded. Perhaps you are not seeing things too clearly at the moment. Alternatively, it symbolizes greed. It is always about what you want without regard for others.
To dream that you are eating squid, indicates that you are feeling self-conscious and worry about how others perceive you. You may be finding it easier to isolate yourself instead of risking judgment from others.
Overwhelm. Going in many directions at once. Devouring (as in someone compromising you by asking or expecting to much) or losing yourself or your self-identity. Slimy-ness or ill will. Dreaming of this animal can represent:
Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way
Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this
Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)
For more clues, pay attention to what the animal was doing or any particular characteristic that stood out.
