What are ant dreams about?

I had a dream that i was with an old friend and we were just talking and then suddenly something she said triggered me to remember that I had killed someone and they were hidden under my floorboards and then I accidentally blurted it out to her and she called the police and then I was quickly trying to yank up the floorboards and dispose of the body before the police got there. I woke up after that so no idea what happened next lol

Firstly I would never even hurt an ant, let alone a human, let alone be able to kill someone. I’m not an angry or violent person. I’m really chill.
Secondly I don’t even have floorboards so wtf

So I was there in my dream. I was under a bridge above a creek for a reason that was not specified. It started raining hard. And it flash flooded where I was at. I had to use driftwood to escape. I was also very concerned about my phone not getting wet. I nearly drowned trying to get out. I would start to see like 3 inch long ants on the wood as I progressed. I finally got out and made my way to the resturant my parents told me to meet them at earlier( I just found out about this in the dream). When I got there they were mad at me for being wet and late. Thats all folks. Anyone have any idea what it means?

In the dream I am in my home but there are ants everywhere. At first it's 3-5 here and there but as I move around i discovered groups of hundreds of lines. They are small black ants and are not generally attacking me. I am not horrified or scare but I am shocked. There was more to the dream but I can't remember one more detail: at one point I saw abot half dozen praying mantis that were catching some ants and eating them.

This may or may not be relevant but in another dream that same night I dreampt that I kept taking a shower over and over at a public gym because I would walk out of the shower out without sandles and I thought that was gross.

Both have the common floor is covered with something gross motif.

Context: male mid 30s. I have been having ants problems in my home.

I was in this grey city, and there was no sound at all. I had this big white ball, maybe the size of a soccer ball. I saw an ant like creature with a small white ball. He was in ripped clothes and looked very hungry. I then realized that the size of the ball you had the more wealthy and popular you were. He then gave me his ball and vanished into the side of the road. Then they merged into one and i had an even bigger ball. Then i was just standing there, but suddenly the ground started shaking. I heard an evil fat laughter and soon after, a giant white ball peeked behind a building. The more i could see the ball the more frightening it seemed. It then stopped at the other end of the road. On top of the ball was a man, with a monocle and a top hat. He saw me and my ball, and his ball started rolling towards me. The closer it got the more i knew what was coming. The giant ball rolled over me. I was crushed and his ball got even bigger. I then woke up with his laughter in my ears, and knew it was a dream, but the thought of that guy terrorizing that city still gives me chills...

I just realized this recently, but it has been happening since childhood. I don't know if this has a name but I am looking for help. When I google this, they give me results that aren't the same thing.
Do you ever dream something that is very real and looks like reality then forget. Then at another time when you remember you believe its a memory to only find out that it didn't actually occur?

For example, I had a dream that looked like normal reality (nothing was off like a typical dream) where I was getting assistance from a family member regarding an ant issue we were having. I thanked my family member for helping me out but they were clueless to what I was talking about and they proceeded to tell me there was no ant issue and they didn't help me at all.

I had this happen at work as well where my boss has no clue what I was talking about. This was not in regards to being helped, this was in regards to something he had sent me which he never sent.

Any ideas? Does this happen to anyone else?
