Symbolic reading

The emotions that were pushed down are now resurfacing and being metabolized by the self. The 'waste' is the unprocessed feeling, and the act of consumption is the necessary, difficult work of integration and release.

Practical reading

The body and mind are demanding that you feel what you have been avoiding. The dream is a powerful, albeit unsettling, push toward emotional authenticity and release.

Psychology explanation

This is the psyche's attempt to achieve emotional homeostasis. Suppressed material doesn't vanish; it waits. The dream forces the integration of the shadow material, demanding that the feeling be experienced fully before it can be safely released.
