Eating crabs is understood as the act of drawing benefit from a guarded source. The hard exterior of the creature demands a certain effort to reach what is held within. This dream signifies a process of gaining through persistence rather than through easy acquisition. It does not indicate a windfall or an effortless gift.
The nature of the source is found in the difficulty of the task. A person may meet a resistance that must be met with persistence to reach the reward. Shell fragments in the dream signal that the gain is accompanied by minor irritations. This dream is a sign of successful extraction from a defensive position.
