An interpretation of parasite 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. A parasite can represent something going on inside your body—you might actually have contracted a parasite. Or it can be an analogy for an illness caused by a virus or bacteria, such as a flu bug. Dreams give warnings about threats to health, so always consider the obvious. If you dream about a parasite, pay extra close attention to your health and how your body feels. Expand on the idea of parasite and it can mean “eaten at” in nonphysical ways, such as by stress or worry. In simplest terms, it means something is harming you from the inside, and it might be something that’s too small to notice consciously. See: Cancer The most common use of parasite symbolism is in connection with parasite meaning “someone who relies on or exploits others and gives nothing in return.” It’s an analogy that can sum up your opinion of someone or even a situation. For example, a woman dreams that her young child contracts a parasite and she immediately suspects the babysitter. It reflects her suspicion that the babysitter’s first priority is to chat all day on her phone and run personal errands, all but ignoring the child. The babysitter is like a parasite living off the goodness of the dreamer’s child. See also: Insects, Cancer, Disease, Infecting, Infesting, Insects, Invading, Vultures
