Fleas
Fleas lice or parasites These can depict thoughts or sexual habits which are purely selfish or carry a health risk. In some dreams if you catch the parasites from another person they indicate a feeling your relationship with someone is parasitic. Fleas can also suggest thoughts that sap resolves, energy, or ambition, and that detract from your sociability. Or they can be attitudes or beliefs or worries that draw strength from you, or even cause illness. They may be attitudes or feelings you have ‘caught’ from someone else through relationship of one form or another – perhaps in childhood or through watching films with negative messages.
A parasite can also be a fear, such as anxiety about illness that saps your health and well-being. Or it can point to weakness in you that leads to dependence in connection with sex, drugs or alcohol.
Fleas or lice on the body can also suggest unclean habits, or parasitical relationships.

Tony,
I’m impressed and intrigued by your knowledge of dreams. Usually I can decode my dreams however; this one has my totally perplexed. I dreamed that I moved a sofa to find a tiny white kitten totally infested by fleas. They were attacking the poor kitten and when I reached to swat them and pick up the kitten it bit me. I managed to pick it up to see the fleas had bitten past the fur in one place on the kitten and the flesh was showing. I quickly immersed the kitten in a sink of water and woke up. Can you help me with this.
thanks

Cassie – The back of the sofa suggests a place you are not aware of much in yourself. And what you find is a vulnerable scrap of life, your natural instinctive feelings, to do with caring and supporting. But they are feelings that can bite you/hurt you yet you persist with them and discover its problem – the fleas.
Without knowing more about you, I need to say everything that might apply. The kitten can be feelings about a baby, or about your sexual feelings. And fleas suggest something that is sapping your energy, probably your emotional energy, and perhaps this is another person’s influence that you ‘caught’.
But you have become conscious of it in the dream and despite it is not good to see, you are doing something about it in fact it woke you up to what is happening.

i have just dreamt of dog fleas on my left wrist and on my head, near my nape. i couldn’t feel it but i think they’re biting through my skin because it was difficult to remove. they were dark brown in color and is as fat as if they’re sucked enough blood from me. when i checked my arm, i was full of bite marks, w/c are bumpy.. this got me worried coz it was one of my most vivid kind of dream
I dream that there was a flea on my bed.I was mad and try to kill it but it would not die.it would fly away and come back and mess with me.2 days later i am in fight.Family fight.Never should have happen.And this dream stay in my head.Crazy and crazy!!!!
Maria – I think there was something on your mind that was ‘bugging’ you and wouldn’t go away.
Then instead of facing and dealing with it you had an argument with you family. So if you dream about a flea again I think you need to face it and ask what is annoying you.

Last I had dream of my mom having fleas crawling on her scalp but I have managed to kill them all.
Refiloe – This is a sign that your mothers ideas are not for you, and you have done well to not act on them. Take your own counsel.

Hi i had a dream of being at my friends caravan which she and her husband live in full time (my neighbours) it was a beautiful warm summery hazy day and whilst i was standing in her doorway she pointed out that she could see fleas crawling on my lower legs and commented on how red they looked. i started to slap them and tried to remove them but my legs were very red (but not at all sore) . i felt rather calm whilst all this was happening and cannot understand why i would dream of fleas. the fleas were tiny and very thin like a grain of riceand very dark brown.
