Eating nails is a sign that you are attempting to live on the very hardness that was meant to hold things in place. This dream shows a drive to internalize a hardness that is meant to keep things together, but the act of consuming it turns a tool of stability into something that cannot be easily held.
The way this dream works is by turning a method of fastening into a source of internal friction. You are seeking a way to brace yourself, yet the very thing you reach for lacks the softness needed to be part of your living breath. I once tried to hold my own grit inside to keep from falling apart. It is a heavy thing to carry such sharp edges inside.
Still, you have the tools to stay upright without needing to take in what is unyielding. You already hold what is needed to stand.
Eating fingernails shifts the dream toward a loss of your own personal defenses. Because these are parts of your own body, the dream shows that you are consuming the very strength you need to protect yourself from the world.
Swallowing nails makes the dream a matter of how you handle what is difficult to digest. This dream shows you are taking something sharp deep into your belly, where it stays and cannot be easily moved.

Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
