Dreams About Wormes – Interpretation and Meaning

In dreams, worms, even if dreamed of in different situations, are interpreted, in symbolism, more or less with the same meaning: contempt, rejection, a sense of inferiority, envy. The worm in dreams can represent a slimy or servile person but also thoughts that torment or anguish.

What does it mean to dream of worms? In the book of dreams we see that the symbol of worms is present in dreams even when there are digestive problems, this being a natural thing.

But normally the dictionary of dreams suggests that we look at ourselves and our conduct if not inspired by right values; always if looking at the people around us we find nothing strange.

Dreaming of worm in fruit has a meaning that is interpreted as discomfort in the intimate and sexual life of a person.

Even if it is to be evaluated based on the personality and life that one leads. This being a recurring figure in film, various images and cartoons.

Monkey Symbolism in Cultures

Medusa represents the conflict of acceptance of a woman’s femininity and seduction capacity … the myth is reality and is the key to reading for our personal shadows. Was it really a nightmare? What is the symbolic meaning of the worm? And that sink, perhaps represents a container, a belly, a uterus…

Thus, in a Chinese legend, mankind comes from parasites of the body of the primitive being and, in the Icelandic Gylfaginning, the worms coming from the corpse of the giant Ymir get, by order of the gods, the reason and appearance of men.

A similar myth is found in South America, among the Cashihuana Indians for whom the first men appeared, after the flood, in the corpses of the giants that formed the previous humanity.

This conception could confirm Jung’s interpretation that: the worm is first of all the destructive aspect of the libido rather than its fertilizing aspect.

In biological evolution, the worm marks the preliminary stage of dissolution, of decomposition. In relation to the inorganic, it indicates the ascending path of the primordial energy towards life; compared to higher organizations, it represents a regression, an initial and larval stage.

Dreams about Worms – Meaning

Dreaming of a worm going away means that finally something that haunted you is moving away. If, on the other hand, this creeps up to you and makes you sick, you can foresee the presence of someone close to you who is unpleasantly company or who probably haunts you and annoys you.

Dreaming of white or small and white worms has the same general meaning as the worm itself since this figure is the best known, since the worm that we find in nuts and apples is normally white.

Dreaming of red worms, also here the meaning is related to the fact that these are of earth or sand, like worms for fishing that are red whose symbolism brings us back to the passion. Dreaming of black worms is to be interpreted by associating the meaning of the worm with the meaning of black as a symbol of dreams.

Dreaming of green worms could be misleading as it could be like dreaming of an earthworm in which there are noticeable differences in symbolism. Otherwise this worm could mean hope if we bring the symbolism back to the green color.

Worms are very often present in dreams, and as you can imagine they are not very pleasant presences: they arouse disgust, disgust, and sometimes even horror. In dreams appear worms of all kinds, caterpillars, millipedes, worms, woodworms (woodworms), maggots (the small white worms that are used as bait in fishing), those ugly hairy worms, also called ‘wrinkles’.

The worm is a crawling animal; writhes, stretches and shortens; his body is smooth and long, it can thin or thicken. In dreams these characteristics make it a phallic symbol, as it happens for the snake: both these animals can represent the male penis. This meaning can extend to represent, more generally, the masculine gender, masculinity. It can also be a symbol of the ‘voracious’ and destructive side of sexuality.

Weakness, fragility: being an invertebrate animal, the worm has no skeleton; it is an animal that can be easily crushed, very vulnerable. Dreaming of a worm can therefore indicate that you feel weak, on a physical, mental or character level.

Corruption, debasement, immobility, and death: the worms ‘corrode’ from within, things that are apparently healthy are actually damaged and eaten inside. Enemies, annoyances: things you want to get rid of. Beginning: the worm can be a larva that is a form of elementary life, little developed, that often arises from death (it is generated in carcasses and corpses). Child: during pregnancy the worm can represent the child.

In addition, children can dream of a little brother they don’t want in the form of a worm, and they fear the arrival in the family.
