Pencils show how you are currently sketching out your thoughts and making temporary plans for what comes next. This dream shows a mind that is working through ideas, gathering the tools needed to mark a path before the ink of life becomes permanent.
The nature of these tools is to be used and then set aside, much like a draft on a kitchen table. You are working through things that are not yet fixed, leaving room for the hand to move. I, too, keep a scrap of paper nearby when I am not yet sure of my direction. You have the grace to change your mind, dear. You are simply learning how to hold the lead.
Sharpening pencils finds you preparing your mind for a task. You are honing your intent so that you can act with precision.
The dream of eating pencils changes the verdict by suggesting a delay in your ability to express yourself. Because the tool is being consumed rather than used, the words you intend to write are being held back or lost.
