Insect

This may imply that something is irritating you, or you are feeling something ‘bugging’ you. It might also suggest you are feeling insignificant, like an ant in the mass of other ants.

The insect can also depict the automatic unfeeling processes of your life; cold unfeeling urges; sexual urges, especially with cock-roaches – insects may also represent the sperm swarming toward the ovum, and therefore may deal with pregnancy.

Can symbolise conscionce, guilt or worry:

As Jiminy Cricket suggests, insects can represent our conscience and guilt which reminds us of feelings we might sooner forget – perhaps insects represent these areas because they live their life in our house and garden largely unseen – so depict thoughts and feelings occurring on the edge of consciousness. The little niggles of guilt or worry. See: Bee; Spider.

If flying off: Perhaps your children leaving home.

Lice or parasites: Thoughts or sexual habits which are purely selfish or carry a health risk; feeling someone is parasitic.

Dead insects: Has been used to represent an unwanted baby in some dreams. As such it shows the death of the foetus, or abortion of the foetus.
