I don't know the appropriate section to post this question, may be the mod can help out.

I'm really interested in knowing people's opinion about this issue because right now as I am posting this, a family is being turn apart. A lady I know very well is accusing her mum of serving her food in her dreams & that's why she's not progressing in life and that her mum wants to kill her. This is the same woman that has being taken care of her from birth why would it be now that she will kill her and not when she was a baby? I thought. This lady I understand takes spirituality to the extreme and her mother is well known to be very religious but not an extremist. I learnt the accusation has been going on for years now and the lady has refused to visit or have anything to do with her mother and entire family so, I was called in recently to help intervene in the case.
Is is not scientific that when one sleeps hungry the possibility of dreaming of food is high? Just like one who occupies his mind with porn and sex will dream of having sex may eventually have wet dreams. From the little research I have done, I found out that this family is not the only one facing such social problem and it has destroyed many families. Though, I'm liberal and also believe in God, so I'm left in the middle if this case is spiritual or just one that has scientific or medical explanation. So, is eating in the dream spiritual or scientific?

From my own perspective, I will say it can be both. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the event..
