Worms are a common dream theme. At some point in your life, you’ll wake up feeling disgusted, itchy, and longing for a warm bath.
Considering the filthiness of these lowly, slimy, wriggling creatures, dream scenarios associated with them generally have negative connotations. However, let’s not forget the fact that they contribute to the ecosystem in their ways.
Unpleasant as they are, you need to know that they visited you in your sleep state for a reason. And more often than not, it is to guide and heal you, to help you expel something that is harming you, your relationships, and life in general.
Dreaming of Worms – What Does It Mean?
SUMMARY
Generally, a dream about worms signifies problems and deceitful people trying to take advantage of you in the name of companionship. But then again, they may also foretell a transition, a switch from poverty to prosperity, or vice versa.
Almost instantly, dreamers across the planet associate dream about worms with negativity. If that’s what you did too, we do not blame you!
In the dream world, worms usually relate to upcoming problems, which could be anything, from oppression to conflicts with others to health issues. Worm dreams may also hint at the presence of false friends hovering around you.
If you can recall the lessons of your biology class, worms are at the bottom of the food chain. They are usually the prey of small birds like sparrows and pigeons. From that perspective, dreams about worms could mean you are not confident and think lowly of yourself.
If you were disgusted with the creature in your dream plot, it is a clear indication that you need to work on yourself, on your self-esteem.
Let us remind you here that interpretations vary depending on the dream details – species, color, shape, size, emotions you experienced in the dream, and not to forget, your real-life situations.
Creepy as they are, worms are natural recyclers. Not only are they important but they are crucial for keeping the soil fertile. From that viewpoint, worms in the dream world symbolize rejuvenation, transformation, and success.
In fact, some psychologists agree that big, fat worms in dreams symbolize wealth and fortune.
Usually, you need to do a little digging to find worms in the soil since they are deep inside and not on the surface. Accordingly, your dream plot may mean you conceal your genuine side under a disguise.
For instance, say you feel pathetic inside, but you usually do not show it to other people.
According to Tsvetkov, the psychotherapist, worms in the dream world stand for wicked thoughts and vile temptations. If this resonates, your dream plot could be warning you to stay away from such thoughts unless you want to get into trouble and repent later.
Positively, the creature also indicates you will receive help from people you least expect. If your star favors you, an amazing person will show up in your life.
It is also important to note how your culture perceives these spineless beings. While most connect the creature to negative people and problems, others believe worms represent vile temptations haunting you.
So, you must leave no stones unturned while interpreting your scenario.
Now that we’re done with the general meaning let’s look at what worm dreams symbolize.
Worm Dream Meaning: Dream Symbols
Listed below are some of the most common symbols of worm dreams.
Inferiority Complex
As lowly and vulnerable as these wriggly creatures are, a dream about worms may mean you think poorly of yourself.
Do you think everyone around you is better off than you? Do you often feel sorry towards your family and loved ones and feel unworthy of their love?
An Underlying Issue
Often, dreams about worms stand for an issue you have failed to detect. Though aware of something bothering you and hindering your progress, you are not sure what it is.
Envy
You are surrounded by creepy people who call themselves your friends when all they wish for is your degradation. These people are dead jealous of your achievements and your life. There’s a strong likelihood that they entered your circle to rot you.
If you think this resonates, take your dream as a warning to break away from those you believe befriended you with malicious intentions.
Deceit
The appearance of the creature could mean someone is not honest with you.
Or maybe it is you putting on different masks.
Base Thoughts
Dreaming about worms implies that you entertain base thoughts and are overpowered by evil temptations.
Shame and Guilt
Some people dream of these slimy beings when they are repentant of the vicious deeds they have committed in the past.
Disclosure
A revelation could be the primary theme of your worm dream if you have done something disgraceful. In such cases, the scenario warns you to be emotionally prepared because you will soon get busted as your scandalous deeds go out in the open.
Sickness
Often, worms hint at an underlying illness or a disease you will soon be diagnosed with. This is especially true if the worm appeared on a particular part of your body in your dream plot.
For instance, a woman developed retinitis or the inflammation of the retina a few days after she dreamed of a slimy worm crawling on her eyelids.
The need to be expressive
If you notice, creatures such as earthworms are not found on the surface of the soil. You need to dig deeper if you want to use them as baits for fishing.
Similarly, the worms stand for repressed ideas you need to bring to the surface. Just as the worms from the depths of the soil help you catch fish, your repressed ideas may serve as the ticket to your growth.
Renewal
Worms also symbolize renewal, regeneration, and transformation.
Dreaming of Worms – Various Scenarios And Their Meanings
Bearing in mind the different types of worms and species classed under each type, there are thousands of worm-related dream scenarios.
However, we have filtered some of the most common spectacles experienced by dreamers across the planet. Yours may or may not be on the list. Even if it’s not, the article will help you figure out how to approach your scenario for interpretation.
Dreaming of seeing worms
Generally, worms in the dream world have a negative connotation. They either stand for problems or envious people around you.
If the second possibility resonates with your present life, the scenario warns you to watch those people closely because there’s a strong likelihood that they will try to harm you.
If you saw worms without any other additional details, such a dream might be revealing your real-life situation and the emotional state you’re in.
Are you putting on a smile and acting as if everything is alright when in truth, you are not?
Watching a worm in a dream
Sometimes, you may dream of yourself watching the movements of a worm intently. Such a scenario has a negative connotation and shows that you think lowly of yourself. It is also possible to dream of the same if you believe someone is much inferior to you.

A single worm is one of the most common worm-dream scenarios. Depending on your real-life circumstances, you can interpret it in various ways.
How do you perceive yourself? If you were to rate yourself from 1 to 10, how much would you give? If you think of yourself as a failure and unworthy of the love and affection you are getting from others, the creature symbolizes you.
From another point of view, the scenario indicates you are in a difficult situation presently.

If the meaning resonates with your current life, do not feel sorry to kick that person off from your life. However, you must be very careful lest you end up hurting someone who earnestly cares about you.

Black worms in dreams
It is considered an ill omen if black worms pop up in your dream state. You might be feeling depressed and toying around with self-destructive ideas.
Before you take any action to sabotage yourself, you need to remember that life is not a bed of roses – neither for you nor for the rest of humanity.
Everyone goes through struggles every once in a while and those who managed to crush and overcome those struggles are usually winners in life. If you look closely enough, you will notice that there are people around whose situations are way more pathetic than yours.
Having said that, black dreams in the dream world may simply stand for changes in some areas of your life.

Now, if you ask, ‘Then what, how are they related to my life?’, your subconscious is insisting you nip them in the bud while they are still vulnerable.
