Worms
What do my dream about Worms really mean?
Only real true about dream, where you have seen various combination with Worms. All dream's symbols collected from different sources and cultures, so, please, select, adapt and interpret, how it fits best for you:
Association:
- Decomposition & insignificance. Degradation & irrelevance. Disintegration & unimportance.
Question:
- Where in my life I am prepared to assert myself?
In general:
In its basic meaning, the worm can stand for the penis. Depending on the gender of the dreamer and his attitude toward sexuality, the worm may be perceived as threatening. Worm stands for sexual and other impulses, which can even reject them as low and suppressed. In a broader sense it may symbolize the past, the new comes, often related to manure.
Psychologically:
The invertebrate reptile, which we see in the dream, may indicate our helplessness in a particular case in waking life, because we’re a helpless worm. Or, if the worm eats something, then this dream could point to the conscientious worm that gnaws at us. The worm in dream also can express feelings of ineffectiveness and unimportance (in relation to the dreamer or someone else). If the worm is larger than a man, then this can be close to feelings of inferiority. If the dreamer sees the piles that arises when an earthworm eats soil and excreted, so he has to do with an image of transformation. It shows him that he can change his life and do something more fruitful. It may be that the dream consciousness with this image of sexual desires, which the dreamer is considered immoral and indicating his guilt.
Spiritually:
To transfer (hand over) the worms is a metaphor for death. The dreamer should therefore be prepared, that something will occur on the spiritual level and it may soon change.

Explanation & Definition:
Short explanation
Creeping or burrowing invertebrate animals with long & soft bodies and no limbs.
Complete definition
The term worm (vermes) refers to an obsolete taxon used by Carolus Linnaeus and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals, and stems from the Old English word wyrm. Currently it is used to describe many different distantly-related animals that typically have a long cylindrical tube-like body and no legs.
Most animals called “worms” are invertebrates, but the term is also used for the amphibian caecilians and the slow worm Anguis, a legless burrowing lizard. Invertebrate animals commonly called “worms” include annelids (earthworms), nematodes (roundworms), flatworms, marine polychaete worms (bristle worms), marine nemertean worms (“bootlace worms”), marine Chaetognatha (arrow worms) and insect larvae such as caterpillars, grubs, and maggots.
Worms vary in size from microscopic to over a metre in length for marine polychaete worms (bristle worms), 6.7 m (22 ft) for the African giant earthworm, Microchaetus, and 55 m (180 ft) for the marine nemertean worm (bootlace worm), Lineus longissimus.
Historical English-speaking cultures have used the terms worm, Wurm, or wyrm to describe carnivorous reptiles (serpents), and the related mythical beasts dragons.
Various types of worm occupy a small variety of parasitic niches, living inside the bodies of other animals. Free-living worm species may live on land, in marine or freshwater environments, or burrow.
Synonyms of worm
verb: creep, crawl; noun: maggot, grub; plural: worms, maggots, grubs; worm as verb: worms – 3rd person singular present; worming – present participle; wormed – past tense; wormed – past participle.

I dreamed having to make an abortion, then I was sent to this one place called a hospital but it was small room. There was a guy who was suppose to help me and he gave me medicine to drink over night which I did not do. The next day when they came they, a lady discovered that I did not drink that medicine, and she kept on asking why did I not drink as instructed. When I looked at the medicine I realized that it had turned into lots of maggots – and woke up. What does that mean?

I had a dream of white parasitic worms coming out of my anus, i was so grossed out by them i just wanted them out! I tried to pull out as many as possible and id got freaked out by this. I had them coming out the whole time and told my mom about them. Long ones and short ones came out. There were so many of them that i couldn’t believe that they were all inside of me.
I seen people draining out a pool and i thought why they doing that. Maybe its cause there might be some of my worms in there. Then when i spoke with my mom. It seemed a plague was on us all, i had been hit with a bad case of worms, they were washed away with a flood and lost all their belongings. Then something else had happened but cannot remember what. I even had the tickle sensation in my anus as if they were starting to come out again. Wow i was so freaked out when i woke up.

I don’t know where my dream started or how it took place, all I remember is looking at my face,arms,hands,stomach in different mirrors and I cld see little worms moving arnd inside of my body! And the only way I could kill them was by using my finger nails to cut through my skin stabbing the worm and it wld either pop or turn into a black bug and jump out of my skin. But the more I cut and killed the more appeared nd bigger they got. They ranged in diff sizes from like a maggot to 2 inches long and they where all white or clear. As I continued to cut through my skin I eventually started ripping pieces of skin of my body and literally pull the worms out and toss em I freaked out so much I woke up out of my sleep at 4:30 am. And never went back to sleep. This dream bothered me all day!

This is my second time having a dream like this; not sure how started but I was at a family members house with all of my extended family and we were dressed up. After long day we decided to all get comfy and when I went into bathroom/bedroom to change there were a pile of little black short worms on the floor, not moving. I was so startled and told one of my aunts and was told not to move them or kill them as they would multiply. Needless to say I was grossed out I could not continue to get dressed. Later on another member of family came in and the worms we’re no longer in the same pile/place. Rather they were underneath a big blanket. I woke up! Any suggestions on meaning?

I hate worms. In this dream, my sister’s room was filled with weird crawling black fat worms a few days ago then now my room suddenly has millions of skinny unidentifiable worms all over ceiling and floor covering the whole room, moving and some dropping disgustingly. When I woke up my heart was beaten so hard and i was so stressed I kept thinking of the worms not able to erase the vivid image. It even made me have goosebumps. Normally I fear crawling things very much and if I see one I will jump up so quick. Does it mean I am overloaded with things I am helpless in.

I dreamt i was in Mexico running through a river. i stopped to rest on a rock and looked down and saw two worms crawling into a hole in the top of my foot. i seeked out medical attention but no one would write me a perscription or help me!! i was so angry that no one would help me and my foot just kept getting bigger and bigger. I had to wait until the worms couldnt breathe and came out a little for air and attempt to pull them out. it was terrifying.

I was in my childhood home about to have Thanksgiving dinner, my father had passed away and my mother had invited a new man. He began to say grace in the living room, my mother joined and soon they went on an on and on. I became upset because all I wanted to do was eat (I’m not religious) so I ran into the bathroom down the hall. As I stood in the bathroom fuming, I noticed a graceful blue and silver worm that danced by the faucet. I then began regurgitating brown worms from my mouth which I threw in the toilet. I became distressed and decided to flick the blue and silver worm into the drain and wash it down but was unable to do so. As soon as I reached for it would wither away and reappear on the tub, then the window pane as if it was a spirit.
This dream reminded me of how bratty and difficult I became after my father passed away. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of the grief I gave my mother as somehow she let me be.

I dreamt that my side of my right hand was hurting only to look at it was swelling. I could see that my flesh started to ooze out like a bubble. out of the flesh i saw maggots coming out and crawl back inside. I would squeeze them out and would pull them out. I felt my spirit cry out in pain, and my mother whom was already dead appreared and I screamed “mom.” I had already squeezed all of them out. She then took a treezer and she pulled out an earthworm like five to six inches long and then I woke up. What does it mean? in spiritually. I’m christian.

I was dreaming of black hard shell worms, I had found some. I took them and put them on my dressing table of my grandmothers. They were ferocious eaters and in seconds they had multiplied and had churned up 3 big holes in the dresser. I was stressed that I had done that and woke with a bad headache. I think it has something to do with my attachment to things but also I feel that I am poised for a creative burst. Could be sexual tension too. We will see as the days go by.

In my dream, at first my thumb seemed to get bubbles on it out of no where, until one popped and you could see a deep dark hole and blood. Then a white small worm poked out of the hole. Then I began to see my skin moving, it was worms traveling under my skin on the top of my hand, making their way up to my other fingers, I tried squishing them by pressing down the parts of my skin that showed movement until someone, two people, came up to me with tweezers and pulled one out somehow. I just stared at the small white worn and then woke up. I was so frightened to waking up and in my dream. I quickly checked my hands when I woke up and rubbed them. It was so creepy….
