recently had a vivid dream

Possible trigger:

that i started cutting off my skin and eating it, but i hid it from my mom. she told me i was too skinny and took me to the doctor i wore long sleves so my mom couldnt see my scars but the doctors saw them so i killed him and ate him. I then woke up sweating, off my bed, right before i woke i felt knoves cutting me.

Anyone know what this means?

Something is real life is getting under your skin. It is causing you much anxiety.

Given this, I feel like there's something you're ashamed of or anxious of revealing to your mom. You've had instances before where your mom has acted in this way. Are you young? Or afraid of having your autonomy taken away?

The rash decision to kill the doctor and eat him seems like an exaggeration of a desire to be in control or have others acknowledge you, somehow. As in like, you are an adult / can take care of yourself. Or something.
