Dreaming about cannibalism-?

Not too important, but I always did wonder. From January to July of this year all of my dreams that I remembered when I woke up involves cannibalism. Now I only dreamed maybe once a week, but to me...that's pretty weird. They were varied enough (like cannibalism inside of a bigger dream), but gradually came to be only scenes of cannibalism occurring.

One dream in particular came about in March and recurred. I still have it every third or fourth dream, although I do dream about other things now.

Basically I dream in first person that I see a naked man on a white bed in a relaxing place. He is asleep. I crawl to the bed, slit open his lower abdomen, and eat his visceral organs. He stays asleep this whole time, although he moves his head and sighs or moans sometimes.

Usually my dream ends when his ribcage is bare, but twice in the dream I broke them open and ate his heart, along with the flesh of his neck until his vertebrae were showing.

This dreams doesn't bother me because in the dream and when I wake up from it I feel very calm and content; but I've always wondered what this might mean. The previous bout of cannibal-dreams and the recurring one I have now.

Best answer goes to most insightful answerer; I'm not looking for "you're obviously a secret cannibal". :/

Update:

Oops, grammar mistakes that could lead to confusion:

I dreamed, once or twice a week, about cannibalism during the time period mentioned.

    Well from what I know, when you dream about eating a human's flesh, it means you are stabbing someone in the back or something.

    If you're not stabbing anyone in the back, then I don't know.. maybe you're hurting someone without knowing you are? Since the guy isn't moving, he's not showing you his pain, and you feel calm or whatever because you don't know he's in pain.

    Good Luck!

    It was only a dream. Dreams are the images created in the brain while you re-cooperate your body. I have had weird dreams like that for as long as I can remember. It has to do with keeping clean thoughts, and avoid watching weird movies with bizarre stuff in it such as your dreams did. It will go away eventually or your condition will improve.

    that's very interesting....

    actually everyone is actually two different persons....

    one which lives outside(you) and another inside your mind...

    when you go to sleep he is still awake and he could only think that is in your deeper part of your mind ... that means that you have seen thousands of monuments in you every day life , you wont remember that, only a few will be remembered by you and the rest will be left out ...

    so the deepest memories, desires and thoughts can only be in free to move when you are at sleep...

    so dreams r only the thoughts ....

    dream dost tell feature ..

    but you can feel a different you , which is alive when your at sleep..

    keep it real....

    This dream asks you to stop and take stock of your life

    There is a need to be met which is not being addressed

    Make a new friendship and learn something new: new experiences is required

    I would say, in all seriousness, you are probably in the early stages of demonic possession.

    I know you think I'm kidding. I ain't kidding.
