Their appearance in a dream predicts troubles, illnesses, problems that cause disgust. Blowing your nose in a dream is always a sign that you lack freedom in action and do not feel that you are living life to the fullest.
But sometimes dreams of this kind predict diseases of the skin, respiratory system, or foreshadow colds, or exacerbation of sinusitis.
If you want to understand why nose boogers most often appear in dreams, remember who blew their nose, where the snot ended up in the dream, and what emotions they evoked. This is what a runny nose most often means according to modern interpretation.
Subconscious
From the point of view of the subconscious, the symbol is associated with the inability to achieve anything, with complexes and fears. If mucus in the nose interferes with breathing and does not give rest, this usually indicates pressure from the outside. You probably feel something suffocating in reality right now. Maybe you are influenced by close people or management. But now you cannot make decisions on your own. This leads to the feeling that you are being stifled, not being allowed to realize your own talents and abilities.
If you dream of snot that was smeared on your clothes, you should pay attention to your own perception of your personality. There is probably something in you that causes persistent rejection. It is possible that something unpleasant happened to you in the past, because of which you are now suffering from an acute inferiority complex.
Dreams about boogers - keep your mouth shut
It is believed that if an influential person dreams of clearing his nose of snot and goats, then he should be extremely careful, since there is a danger that his position will soon be encroached upon. Try to talk less about the state of affairs, do not tell even the closest person about your shortcomings, this can be used against you. Also, such a dream is dangerous for women - a close friend may betray you.
There is an interpretation that if you managed to clear your nose of dried boogers, then you will soon get rid of minor troubles that did not allow the dreamer to live in peace.

Where do boogers in the nose come from?
Absolutely all people encounter goats every day, but where they come from and, in fact, what boogers are, not everyone understands. They are formed from protective mucus produced by the nasal mucosa, dust particles, organic substances and microorganisms that penetrate the nose along with the inhaled air and adhere to it.
Since mucosal secretions contain many substances that have a bactericidal effect, including lysozyme and immunoglobulins, approximately half of the microbes die when they come into contact with it.
Thus, nasal mucus is a mixture of dried mucus, dead and living microorganisms. They are the result of a natural mechanism that protects the respiratory system from dust and harmful bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly remove crusts from the nose, but eating is a controversial issue.
Freud's Dream Book
As the psychoanalyst believed, the nose itself is a pronounced phallic symbol. Therefore, any discharge from it should be assessed as something related to the sexual side of a person’s life. Freud explained that most often mucus is the embodiment of a grudge that the dreamer harbors in real life. It is probably difficult for you to build long-term relationships with the opposite sex, since you often get irritated and angry over trifles. You need to pay attention to your behavior so that you don’t end up alone in the future.
Is it healthy to eat nose boogers? And for what..
Can you eat boogers? Most likely, yes, if a person does not experience any aesthetic inconvenience from this. Moreover, every day absolutely everyone, perhaps without even realizing it, swallows a certain amount of nasal mucus that flows down the nasopharynx into the throat. Is it worth talking about when people constantly sniffle when they have a runny nose and are not embarrassed to swallow snot?
Canadian scientist S. Napper even suggested that eating snot is an instinctive process aimed at strengthening the immune system. In his opinion, microorganisms and viruses accumulated in boogers, when they enter the mouth, force the body to synthesize antibodies to them, which is equivalent in effect to a vaccination.
Miller's Dream Book
This author evaluates sleep with snot The image itself indicates that you do not yet know how to be responsible for your own actions. You behave like a child, not an adult. In this case, age does not matter. This interpretation is true for those dreams where you blow your nose on the ground.
If you dreamed that you were blowing your nose into a handkerchief, it means you can count on positive changes. There will be a promotion in the service, recognition from colleagues, and your career will go uphill. However, you must understand that any careless action can lead to irreparable consequences. Be careful and careful not to destroy everything that you have created for so long.
If you dreamed that your child had a runny nose and mucus, in reality you are constantly putting off important things for later. You need to learn to deal with them as they come. This will help prevent problems at work and in your personal life.
If you dream that there is blood in your discharge, this is considered a very unfavorable sign. The vision foreshadows illnesses that people dear to you will face. It is possible that money will be required from you to cope with the disease.
Nature of discharge, cleaning another person's nose
In the dream, you diligently cleaned your nose, blowing your nose and taking out goats from there, which means that you should begin to deal with minor issues that have been accumulating for you for a long time. These troubles are minor, but if you leave everything to chance and don’t continue to solve them, they can accumulate like a snowball and cause you a lot of trouble.
When, while clearing your nose, you took out worms instead of goats, it means that you will have various small troubles that will take up the lion's share of your attention. The dream is more likely to be considered favorable by the seers rather than bad, since, according to interpreters, you will cope with all the approaching troubles. You will only be required to work tirelessly to achieve a positive result.
If you don’t clean your own nose, but rather remove boogers from another person’s nasal passages, you will soon be pleasantly surprised by the changes on the love front. Those people who have not yet met their other half will find it. And loving hearts will strengthen their relationships and move to a qualitatively higher level.
Vanga's Dream Book
The fortuneteller believed that illness in itself in a dream is not a reason for panic. It only indicates that you must cleanse your mind of bad thoughts and your soul of sins. This is an incentive to reconsider your attitude towards life and towards the people around you.
If you dream that you are seriously ill, and the illness is accompanied by a severe runny nose, it means that in the past you did something not very pleasant. You should repent, ask for forgiveness from those to whom you are seriously guilty. Perhaps then everything will work out in reality.
If you dreamed that someone close to you was sick, you really need to pay attention to your relatives. They probably need your support.
Why do adults eat boogers?
Scientists have proven that the desire to pull out boogers and eat them is rooted in childhood and is akin to instinct. The fact is that many parents forbid their children to eat boogers, and they do it not in the gentlest way. And the more something is prohibited, the more you want it. As a rule, such a desire disappears as one grows older.
But it happens that adults eat boogers. This is explained by:
In the second and third cases, the adult realizes the problem and tries to solve it (or at least hide it from others).
Dream Interpretation of Catherine the Great
If you dream that some other person has a runny nose, there is a meeting ahead that will leave the most unfavorable impressions. Seeing that you yourself are sick, with discharge flowing from your nose, is a sign that a tense period lies ahead in your relationships with dear people. Due to constant quarrels and scandals, things in the service will also not go well.
If you dream that you have such a bad runny nose that no medicine can help you, you will actually have to endure a serious loss. If, as a result, you were able to recover, an interesting and very generous offer will soon follow.
Childhood diseases
Seeing a child's snot in a dream is always an unpleasant sign.
Such a vision predicts a streak of adversity, trivial grievances, tears and problems that will not be worth serious attention, but will force the dreamer to postpone plans for the future and important matters. Seeing transparent snot on your own child in a dream means childish hysteria, resentment and tears. Some people dream of them as a sign of a child getting sick, a cold, or the fact that he will worry about some kind of courtyard or school intrigue and will not be able to properly stand up for himself.
Green snot with a foul odor can predict illness. This dream especially warns those who are prone to colds and suffer from chronic tonsillitis.
Although more often than not, children's snot of any shade means disgust if you have not seen it in your baby.
The dream book writes that seeing children have a younger brother or sister with a runny nose is a sign of trouble and trivial grievances. Sometimes this is a sign that you do not accept the new family member and feel disgust towards him on a subconscious level.
Blowing your nose yourself in a crowded place if you are a child is disgraceful. Such a dream may indicate that you will not be able to hide your feelings and may cry in front of other people.
Tears and snot in a baby predict an unpleasant surprise. In children's dreams, they mean a meeting with a hysterical and whiny child who will pretty much ruin your nerves and mood. For adults, such a vision predicts unpleasant responsibilities.
You may have to look after children. If you dreamed of a boy with mucus flowing from his nose, then you will soon have to console the baby. Some people dream of such a dream as a sign of grievances and unpleasant news.
A snotty girl predicts big troubles and complications. Sometimes this is a sign that you will be unfairly offended. For some people, such a dream predicts temporary troubles or a quarrel in the house.

Why do children eat boogers from their nose?
All children are born explorers. Initially, they experience the world exclusively through sensations, mainly tactile and gustatory. That's why kids touch everything and taste it. It is not surprising that over time they begin to study their own body, including their nose.
As soon as the child understands that after simple manipulations “something” can be extracted from the nose, he will make an attempt to taste it. If the first experience is successful, nose picking may become a habit.
If a child eats boogers, you should try to wean him off this, because the habit does not disappear even with the development of colds accompanied by a runny nose. And when children eat green snot, which is a sign of a bacterial infection, this, according to many doctors, helps to increase the duration of the disease by several days.
Hidden dangers
Some authors argue that consuming green snot contributes to the spread of infection throughout the body, which, with a weak immune system, can result in the development of complications and infection of organs, including the gastrointestinal tract.
If there are bloody boogers in the nose: possible causes
Bloody boogers are most often the result of mechanical damage to the mucous membrane. Since it is very thin, it is extremely easy to injure. In addition, the smallest capillaries that supply blood to the mucous membrane are located close to its surface. Therefore, even one careless movement of a finger while removing snot is enough to cause minor bleeding.
However, bloody crusts form in the nose due to a number of diseases, including:
Chronic rhinitis. In various forms of chronic rhinitis, constant itching and dryness in the nose cause an irresistible desire to remove accumulated mucus. Therefore, patients can imperceptibly damage the mucous membrane and thereby provoke the appearance of traces of blood in the boogers.
Wegener's granulomatosis. This disease is classified as a systemic vasculitis. It affects the upper respiratory tract, kidneys and lungs. Initially, the disease resembles ordinary acute rhinitis, but bloody goose bumps and difficulty breathing appear only in one half of the nose.
As the pathology progresses, the number of crusts increases, they begin to separate in entire casts, and a characteristic putrefactive odor arises. The disease requires immediate treatment, as otherwise there may be perforation of the septum and the development of complications.
Polyposis and the presence of benign formations. Neoplasms can be located in various parts of the nose, and they can bleed, which explains the appearance of blood in the snot.
In rare cases, crusts with blood are a consequence of:
Thus, periodic nose picking is a physiological need to cleanse the nasal cavity of accumulated mucus. But whether it is necessary to eat boogers from the nose is a personal matter for everyone; however, this activity does not cause any particular harm or benefit to the body, but it can cause bewilderment and even disgust among others, because this process looks impartial.
Therefore, it is better to carry it out away from prying eyes. If children suffer from such a bad habit, then it is worth explaining to them how ugly such behavior can look and try to wean them off it before the bad habit takes root.
How to stop a child from picking his nose and eating boogers?
The habit of constantly picking your nose may actually not be as harmless as it seems. After all, along with dried goats, a person pulls out tiny hairs covering the edge of the inner surface of the nose. They serve as a natural barrier that stops large dust particles.
Therefore, their regular removal may cause more dust to enter the respiratory system. In addition, this habit is associated with a high risk of damage to the mucous membrane and infection in the wound, since microorganisms are not only constantly present on the hands, but also always live in the nose. Thus, if a child picks his nose, you should still try to wean him from it.
The baby should be explained that it is not necessary to put your fingers in your nose in public, much less eat boogers, for example, in kindergarten, in a store or on the street, since it is unpleasant for others to observe such manipulation.
But practice shows that such actions are usually not enough. However, there is no universal way to wean a child from eating goats. Parents will have to independently find an approach to their own baby.
Often the habit of picking your nose has less to do with an addiction to the taste of snot, and more to do with boredom. A baby may automatically put his finger in his nose when he has nothing to do or is watching cartoons.
Therefore, we recommend playing more with children, especially active games and those that occupy the little one’s two hands: putting together puzzles, all kinds of construction sets, etc. At the same time, it is strictly not recommended to scold a child as soon as his finger is in his nose. This will not solve the problem, but will only ruin the relationship between the baby and the parent.
Attention! As soon as the baby is noticed picking his nose, you need to check if there is a foreign object in it. If it is discovered, there is no point in making independent attempts to extract it; it is much better to contact an ENT specialist so as not to aggravate the situation.
To ensure that a child develops boogers in smaller quantities and, therefore, reduces the number of episodes of eating them, a number of measures should be taken, including:
