An interpretation of maggot dreams

An interpretation of maggot dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Maggots can be associated with something bugging or eating at you. It might be something producing stress or anxiety, or that seems wrong to you about a person, situation, relationship, or yourself. See: Insects For example, a dream about finding large grubs in the bottom of a Styrofoam cup used for drinks at work symbolizes a situation bugging the dreamer about his work environment. He suspects that some employees are pocketing cash meant for the business. An infestation of maggots can symbolize shame, guilt, or disgust, including disgust with yourself. See: Infesting Maggots worming into the skin can symbolize something negative that gets beneath your skin, or is trying to. It can symbolize bad influence, disgusting thoughts, or depravity. Maggots in the eyes can symbolize seeing something that worms into your thoughts, such as graphically violent imagery or pornography. Maggots in the ears can symbolize hearing something disgusting or that disgusts you. See: Worms Maggots are commonly associated with filth and decay, and the symbolism can branch out from there. For example, someone important in your life comments that your car is filthy, and that night you dream that you have to drive a VIP to a big gala event. When you let the person into your car you see maggots all over the passenger headrest. The VIP symbolizes the important person in your life, and the maggots symbolize the filthy condition of your car. It’s exaggerated but it fits. Decay in a dream can be associated with a relationship or situation in decay. Maggots eat decaying matter, and in dreams that association can be positive if it means the removal of “dead weight.” For example, a new supervisor at work breathes life into a decaying situation, or moving to a new town frees you from the burdens of the past.
