Hornets
Fear of being severely hurt or hurting others by stinging remarks or attitudes.
It could also stand for hurtful and malicious thoughts turning and hurting the dreamer.
A man dreamed he was in his office. Hornets, whose stomachs were colored red and yellow, buzzed around him. “None attacked me, although I felt I should prevent their further reproduction. I took a container and bottled them in the wall.” This was a warning that the working conditions surrounding him were exemplified by the red and yellow colored bellies of the hornets, reflecting the adrenal glands, an emotional centre. The bottling up of the hornets was the warning to the dreamer to stop, wherever possible, all negative, stinging remarks flying around the office and his own participation in them. From Cayce files.
I noticed a hornets nest in the side of the house. The next door neighbour knocks it off and hornets enter the house and sting me. I angrily show the neighbour and son the huge watery swellings. I clout the boy for a stirring up the hornets. I had held my arms above my head and the swelling decreases. Now, with lowered arms I see a bubbling up of skin spread up my arms to chest, then to my entire front. I have no apparent sexual organs because I am covered in a wafer of dead skin. My wife looks at me and has no feeling of caring, and does nothing to help. She is telephoned by another man. I see him and her at the same time. He says for them to go off together, and gives the impression of how sexually adequate he is, and how inadequate I am. I feel so hurt and angry I decide to leave my wife for good.
The dreamer here is a victim of his own feelings of painful sexual inadequacy. The pain of being stung by other men’s view of him makes him withdraw his sexual feelings entirely and want to leave his wife.

I had a dream I walked of the street into a room,(Think the room may have been my new workshop) a hornet followed me inside flying towards me, in fear of its stinging me I hit it away with a book but it just made it more angry and it came for me over and over as I ran around the room trying to get away from it, in the in I had to run from the building then I woke up.
I would like to know what this dream could mean.
Kizzy – It seems obviously connected with your work. Considering that in our dreams our most intimate fears and longings are given an exterior life of their own in the form of the people, objects and places of our dream. So the hornet is actually a thought or a fear you have attracted.
If you can drop the image of the hornet, what fear underlies it – fear of what? Getting hurt yes, but in what way?
My main feeling is that a fear has driven you out of your workshop – not literally but perhaps in your feelings. But if you realise that in dreams you cannot actually get hurt, then you could in your imagination face what chases you out of your workshop. It might even be a creative idea.

I dreamed I was tangled up inside a blue bed sheet, and inside the folds was a massive fat, almost gelatinous hornet. I was struggling to trap the giant hornet in the sheet so it couldn’t hurt me, but each time I almost trapped it – its sting end wriggled out and it kept nearly getting me – I had to keep fighting it. It was very stressful. Any thoughts?
This morning just before I got up, I had a dream about a really big hornet (cartoon sized, as big as a baby bird, size of my palm) and it ate through some toast beside my bed, (which had marmalade on it, which I associate with my old home town and friend) then I tried to shoo it out the door, but it was SO BIG I was scared of being stung/attacked. I tried twice, and twice it crawled over my toast and ate through it (this is what upset me, as I was really looking forward to it). In the dream, everything was very realistic, except the hornet, it looked very cartoonish, and not at all like a hornet, just a black with yellow winged buzzy stingy thing, but I knew it was a hornet. In the end I gave up trying to get it out of my room, and left the room myself, thinking I’d just deal with it later. I have recently (few weeks) rearranged the furniture in my room, and in the dream it was in the old configuration. I would appreciate any ideas on the meaning of this dream.
