What Does Insect Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of insects means small suppressed irritations. Something unspoken is eating at you.
Insects are harmless individually and unbearable in numbers, which is exactly how the dream uses them: minor discomforts that accumulate.
Density is the reading: a single insect is passing unease, a swarm is a build-up that has become intolerable.
