| Insects |
If insects appear in a dream, they generally signify processes connected with the autonomous nerve system. Bees, because they gather honey, can have a positive meaning. In antiquity, the bee was seen as a symbol of the goddess of love. Rose- chafers and Goldsmith-beetles and also our own dung-beetle are species of the Scarab beetle, which was worshipped in ancient Egypt as a symbol of the sun-god. Because of the balls which the scarab beetle makes out of dung, and the connection between the gold color and the green of its wings, it was seen as a symbol of totality and immortality. Nevertheless, when beetles appear in a dream great care is advisable. Ants, spiders and cockroaches, particularly when they appear in larger numbers or even stream out of a cupboard or the kitchen cooker, are danger signals of the highest order. Discussion with a doctor or psychotherapist is advisable. |
