Dreaming of Bedbugs
bedbugs · very negative
Bedbugs foretell illness and worry, often greater than the real harm.
What happens in the dream
- They swarm in great numbers: a very grave sign
- The water fails to kill them: serious complications may follow
- Bedbugs: lingering illness and unhappy times
- Bedbugs playing dead: unhappiness caused by illness
- You crush them and water comes out instead of blood: an alarming but not fatal illness or accident
- You scald them on a white wall: a serious illness, but your worst fears will prove groundless
How you felt
- Health anxiety: the dream often reflects a vague worry
- Disgust: something invasive you want to get rid of
Ask yourself
- What is invading my life that I can't get rid of?
- Are my worries proportionate to reality?
