A small child covered in ants, blocked airways. No one was helping except me.

Ants are normally considered a symbol of diligence and responsibility, and they shed light on your tendency to be a hard-working, reliable individual. However, in this vision the ants are suffocating a young child. This suggests you are working very hard to the extent that other areas of your life are suffering. Perhaps it is your relationships that have been neglected as you try to get everyday tasks accomplished in reality. Your efforts to help the child in your vision further speak of your desire to jump in and take on more work. In this case, the best thing you can do is to concentrate on your loved ones and not overwork yourself so that you can be fully present in their company.

Being bitten by ants

This dream could have a different symbolic meaning which could mean being betrayed by someone you are very close to within your company or work facility. The trust and faith you put into this person could be used against you in order for them to come out on top and succeed in whatever goals they have in mind. Be careful of what you do and say relative to your common or shared points of interest and try to avoid the blows that may soon come your way.

Ants coming out of the body

I am a female. I dreamt that tiny ants in a large number are coming out of my body.

Dreaming that ants are crawling out of your body means you are juggling too many commitments and responsibilities. You are on the brink of a burnout or an emotional breakdown due to the amount of stress you are trying valiantly to manage from all the different areas in your life. Since you have a lot on your plate at the moment, your subconscious is basically encouraging you to slow down and try to be more realistic with your goals and your workload.

Ants inside your house

If you find yourself dreaming about ants invading your house, you have a right to be worried. This vision may signify unfortunate events and their repercussions which could result in a possibility of an accident to occur.

Ants in a drink

I was drinking a cup of water and when I looked down it had a bunch of ants in it?

Dreaming that there are ants in drinking water means you have a lot of things on your mind. These concerns are likely a combination of work responsibilities and personal commitments. While most of them are well within your capability to handle, the amount of issues you deal with on a daily basis is starting to tire you out. Alternatively, you could be feeling anxious about annoying or petty things happening around. Instead of focusing on the big picture and important tasks, you are restless, antsy and easily riled up by things that are beyond your control.

Dreaming about red ants or ants under your skin

Red ants

If you find yourself dreaming about red ants, this is a warning that should not be taken lightly. Soon in the future you may find yourself at a party and end up drinking excessively, which could result in a nasty hangover the next day or even more threatening damages to your body.

An ant on your body

When finding yourself dreaming about an ant on your body, like your arm or leg, you could be experiencing concerns or feeling uneasy. However, this dream is a positive reflection that your ways of budgeting and saving are beginning to pay off.

Squishing fire ants

I dreamed I was sitting maybe at a restaurant with my husband and son. There was a little pile of something on the table. Then 3 fire ants started walking out of the pile. My husband's finger squished them. Then one more came out, I told my son to squish it, he did. I didn't feel any sort of way, just that they had to squish the fire ants. We got up and left. I went out the door, then there were 2 more doors to exit. There was 3 doors to the outside, I opened 2 of them and went out.

Regardless of the kind of restaurant you were in, in general this scenery is suggestive of financial troubles in the near future. You may lose a source of income or have to deal with an unexpected expense that you have little to no savings for. The fire ants represent the other issues that would pop up due to this situation. For example, having to suddenly repair something expensive could mean you do not have enough money to pay a certain bill or afford all your groceries. Squishing each ant literally refers to the little fires you would have to put out in order to make it through this month and even the next. Leaving the restaurant may mean you would find a solution to your issue on your own, such as by selling something or cutting expenses elsewhere, or that you would receive help from someone who supports you in reality.

Crushing ants

Finding yourself crushing and trampling ants in a dream could only mean that you overlook things that otherwise could make your life more fulfilled and satisfying if you paid more attention. Since you choose not to be observant in regards to these obvious signs, it may result in an omen that a future event may cause peril from some horrendous accident or circumstance.

Disturbing fire ants

I dreamed I was outside with someone. There were fire ant hills. The top of one hill was covered in a ball of red fire ants. As I was looking at them, I disturbed a mound, and fire ants got into my shoe, and were biting me. I told whoever was with me "Move away, fire ants are in my shoe biting me!".

In the context of this vision, disturbing an anthill means you are about to find yourself in some serious trouble. The fire ants themselves specifically refer to getting in some type of accident or becoming ill, meaning it is likely to cause problems for your health and well-being. You may soon get into an accident while moving about your city or come down with a serious disease that would require professional medical care. Considering the large number of ants present and your warning to keep the man or woman in your vision away, it is possible that you are the only one who would suffer at this time. If you are feeling unwell, it would be wise to check with your doctor quickly to make sure that it is nothing serious or permanent.

Black ants in the mouth

In my dream I was walking and I felt something in my mouth and I chewed and later discovered it was ants, different types of black ants.

Dreaming about ants in general is associated with the fact that your work ethics resembles the tenacity of these insects when you tend to be relentless and steadfast in achieving your goals. The presence of ants could be a fortunate sign that your hard work would be rewarded in the near future. However, since you mentioned you were chewing the ants, crushing them with your teeth, it could also mean that you are overlooking some important things in your life which could otherwise make you happier and more fulfilled, and so you must pay just as much attention to them in order to avoid possible difficulties because of your neglect. Since you already have good work principles, all you need is to be more attentive to other areas in order to be rewarded for your efforts.

Ants for those in love

If you are currently in a relationship and found yourself dreaming about watching ants for some reason, this is a very positive symbol for your relationship, signifying that the next step to take would be to get married and begin establishing a family.

However, if you are the opposite type of entrepreneur and procrastinate or choose to only do half the work for your company, this could indicate hardships ahead and even potential bankruptcy.

Black ants on the bed sheet

Seeing black ants on your bed sheets in a dream is often considered a negative symbol. It suggests that your inability to let people in may be hurting you more than it is protecting you. For example, by not sharing your true thoughts on a particular topic or idea, others may believe you agree with them and say something unintentionally insensitive. You may even feel that you have been betrayed by someone when they do not even realize that what they have done offended you. You should attempt to speak up more and say your true feelings to avoid misunderstandings in the future.

Black ants on the bottom of the foot

I dreamt that there were a lot of black ants bigger than carpenter ants on the sole of my left foot, just crawling all over the bottom of my foot.

Black ants in dreams are often considered a somewhat negative symbol, often associated with short bouts of bad luck. You are likely to experience some kind of a bad day in the near future, for example, after receiving bad news or not making as much progress as you really needed to. This situation is not likely to last long, so the best thing you can do is have patience and wait for the storm to clear.

Worker ants

Dreaming about intently watching busy ants working away is a very favorable sign which predicts that you would experience a quick recovery from times of misfortune, bad luck or hardships. This dream could also symbolize your excellent health as the ants in this dream represent your strong immune system.

Lying on an ant mound

If you happened to find yourself dreaming about lying on top of an ant mound, this could symbolize that you are presently aware of your problems but doing nothing to address them, which could be negatively affecting your life. This dream could also mean something completely different, the mound could symbolize that you are the primary bread winner for the family and would soon have to provide even more for your family and dependents than what you were expecting.

A line of ants

Seeing ants forming a line in a dream is a reflection that this is your lifeline from people you are close to in your waking life. Whenever something happens to you, miniscule or perilous, your friends are there to lend a helping hand in the situation. These people are numerous and always have your back. You may even be surprised at who will come to lend a helping hand, even when you do not really consider them a close friend, leaving you to be nothing but grateful and humble.

Ants in a jar of jam

If you happen to dream about finding ants in a jar of jam, this could signify that you might soon be faced with trying to overcome great trials or serious problems. By finding the right solutions to these sticky issues, you would be able to continue working on and implementing the plans you have within your work or around the community and eventually come out with positive results.

Ants underneath the carpet

I dreamt that I lifted up my carpet and there was a bunch of ants underneath it.

While this vision may seem a little gross or unsettling, it has a vaguely positive interpretation. The carpet from your dream represents financial security or an increase in wealth. You may soon get some extra money or find another source of income that would improve your circumstances. The ants, however, suggest that in order to fully reap the benefits of this situation you would have to move or do something inconvenient, like deal with a lot of red tape.

Ants inside a hole in the ground

Dreamt about sitting on the ground. I saw a hole and there were many black ants inside. They did not come out. I am a female aged 32.

Black ants are a symbol often associated with bad luck, particularly in many small matters. For instance, you might get a ticket, stub your toe and forget to get something from the grocery store all in the same day. The hole itself suggests some personal responsibility is the cause, like not making a list or checking the parking rules before leaving your vehicle. The best way to mitigate periods of bad luck like this is to avoid getting involved in extra activities and play it safe when it comes to following rules or unwritten social contracts.

Ants for sales people

If you are a salesperson and find yourself dreaming about ants, this is a positive sign that you would soon be achieving multiple outcomes. There may even be generous amounts of profit involved that would leave you off wealthier and more financially independent and stable for quite some time. Be sure to continue with your sales methods and approaches to continue increasing your wealth throughout your career.

Ants carrying food

Watching ants collecting food and transporting it back to the anthill in a dream may symbolize that you have concerns about managing and paying more attention to your budget. By saving up money, like the ants collecting their food, you are saving up extra in case life comes across a "dry spot" requiring you to spend a little more than normal during that period. This would hopefully prevent you from being unable to support your family as long as you stay on top of your spendings and bills.

Destroying an ant nest

If you found yourself dreaming about demolishing an ants' nest, it may symbolize that your future actions could get you involved in questionable or deceitful activities. Due to some bad decisions, disaster and misfortune may occur in the future. Perhaps it could mean that due to your apprehensive nature, you would be unable to resist activities which may be deemed as risky and later on regret the fact that you agreed to go along. These acts could be related to your job or take place between you and your friends.

An ant getting inside your ear

If you were to find yourself dreaming about having an ant crawling into your ear or mouth you should be wary. This may signify an underlying threat or situation that could occur shortly, causing damages or unhappy times to those around you. It would not hurt to double-check and see if your health is at an optimal level just to prepare yourself for the worst of what is to come.

Stepping into an ant mound

Dreaming that you are stepping into an ant mound, either by accident or on purpose, could signify that troubles and uncertainties could enter your life in the near future. No matter how hard you may try to avoid or prevent them, these troubles would be re-appearing because you are not adressing them properly. If you are not presently experiencing any problems, you should still be cautious, since this dream could represent a warning that your life is about to become chaotic or could spiral out of control.

Ants not doing anything

If you happen to find yourself dreaming about watching ants which are at a standstill, do not take this lightly. This may foreshadow that you are about to experience bankruptcy and your life investments and projects might come to a halt until you are able to get back on your feet. Since you may lose a significant amount of money, be wary of how you spend your money and be extremely watchful of new developments after experiencing this dream vision.

Exterminating brown ants

I dreamt spraying a lot of brown ants outside a house. A few were on my clothes and l managed to remove them and sprayed them again. I did not crush them but I sprayed them using an insecticide.

If you find yourself dreaming about ants invading your house, you have a right to be worried. This vision may signify unfortunate events and their repercussions which could result in a possibility of an accident to occur. If you were surrounded by ants, this could be another warning that people might try to take advantage of you soon, in some way or another, whether it is extorting money from you or simply stealing you property or possessions.

Bites of black ants

I was looking through the window of an uncompleted building in our former residence (back in the 80s) and being a bushy property, I noticed the sharp bites of ants. I checked and saw 2 black ants on my toes, I quickly dusted them off.

Dreaming about being bitten by ants could indicate that there is a possibility of experiencing an unfortunate event in the near future. In this dream you may experience pain from the bites, which signifies becoming a victim of an accident or occurrence which you have no control over. The dream may mean something completely different and symbolize that you are about to take on some time-consuming or burdensome projects soon. This dream could have a different symbolic meaning which could mean being betrayed by someone you are very close to within your company or work facility. The trust and faith you put into this person could be used against you in order for them to come out on top and succeed in whatever goals they have in mind. Be careful of what you do and say relative to your common or shared points of interest and try to avoid the blows that may soon come your way.

Destroying many anthills

I had a dream in which I was destroying lots of anthills.

Dreams, where you attack and destroy several ant hills symbolically, represent trying to put out a lot of metaphorical fires in your life. This means that through your actions you have put yourself in a bad situation and now you must deal with the unpleasant consequences. More specifically, this vision suggests your actions were morally questionable or bordering on illegal. Because you have acted in such a way, you are now experiencing the difficult results. This should serve as a warning against future forays into unethical activities.

Red ants in daughter's hair

I dreamt of my daughter crying for an itchy head. I was shocked to see plenty of red ants on her head, maybe biting her. I rush her to a faucet and wash her head to remove all those ants. I am scared! Then I woke up.

Dreaming about red ants is a warning that should not be taken lightly. While ants are oftentimes symbolic of diligence, they can also be a sign of possible unfortunate events shortly. Your child being bitten in the dream signifies an accident or health issues which you have no control over. It is a reminder to keep your child out of harm's way. She may be experiencing troubles that you may not be aware of, hence your subconscious is alerting you to be extra observant.

Red ants on husband's head

I had a dream about seeing a lot of red ants crawling on my husband's head on top, on the right side. It seemed they weren't biting him and he did not know. He then ran into the bathroom to wash his head out. Then I got worried if any were on my head, so I did the same as he did, washed my head.

Ants, particularly red ones, are usually thought to symbolize diligence, however, they can also be a sign of experiencing hardship and difficulty. As you seemed to have taken care of the problem quickly through washing, it seems that your vision carries a little of both possible outcomes, meaning you may experience some troubles, but your work ethic and attention to detail are likely to make this a short-lived problem with only minor interference to your daily life.

Digging into an ant hill, birds and lizards

I was digging a hole in an ant hill, I backed up and then birds swooped in to eat the ants. I kept digging to uncover more ants for the birds to eat when the hole opened up to a bunch of pink soft lizards. They looked like big babies. I turned around and was attacked by a giant sharp fanged lizard. It tried to bite me, so I killed it. But my grandpa saw it all and fell, had a stroke. Then we had to flee an authority I didn't see. After carrying grandpa to the car and kids too I couldn't find my purse.

Digging in an ant hill represents trying to make progress on a goal or make a dream come true through some less than legal avenues. You may try to increase your wealth by getting involved with bad people or doing things which only benefit you, but leave others in dire straights. The birds swooping in on the exposed ants reveal much the same, namely that your efforts spent on questionable deeds are likely to attract others too afraid to do these acts on their own. The pink lizards which are revealed and the later attack of the one with a sharp fang suggests misfortune resulting from these endeavors. Not being able to find your personal item at the end of the vision predicts intervention from either family or authorities, which would result in all your acts becoming public knowledge and having to pay for your wrongdoings.

Marching ants and an ant on son's body

The first part of my dream was watching a bunch of ants in rows and columns marching or walking. The second part was my adult son as a child sitting on my lap, me singing to him and brushing one single ant off his face that was near his right eye. I am curious to know if you were to be made aware of the actual real-life situation if that would change the interpretation. What I meant was, my son who sat on my lap, we have not spoken in 6 years, so I was trying to figure out where this dream came from.

Symbolically speaking, ants are workers. Alongside this notion are the values of hard work and diligence. So to see ants marching in columns in your dream means that your waking world is consumed by your career, profession, or personal business. Every day may be marked by pressures to perform your duty or do your work well, as well as to handle other responsibilities of being an adult. This is your reality and it may soon be the reality for your grown-up son. Perhaps as a parent, you want to shield him from the harsh truth, this is why your subconscious brought you back to the carefree and innocent child that you raised. Brushing off the ant from his face symbolizes your protective nature. However, deep inside you know that your son would eventually be exposed to adult issues and problems, and you cannot always be there to cushion the blows.

Black ants in a dirty house

I am at a strange house, in bed asleep with my partner. The house is dirty and there has been a party. Someone spilled a drink at the bottom of the bed, and into my open suitcase on the floor at foot of bed. I am dreaming (in the dream) of being extremely itchy, and wake to find my legs covered in busy, black ants! I kick them off, shake off the bedding and see ants everywhere in my suitcase. I am disgusted and slightly afraid of them. I wake up.

Dreaming about being in a strange house with your partner has some negative connotations. It denotes that your present relationship is not giving you the kind of satisfaction you crave. The image of the house being dirty is a direct manifestation of your subconscious feelings of disappointment or hurt. This symbolism is further reinforced by finding your legs covered with black ants. This is a forewarning of upcoming troubles and difficulties which you may face in your love life. It would be better to have an open talk with your partner regarding your feelings and reassert what actually matters to you in this relationship.

Ants coming out of mother's neck

Ants coming out of a scab in my mother's neck while we were at church. My estranged son was there. His grandpa was there, they are both pastors in real life. I looked over at my mom's neck and ants started crawling out of a scab in her neck. I wasn't upset, I just told her to go to the bathroom and fix it. Some lady came up and I told her. She said oh well it's probably, said what it was and I couldn't understand. Then she said they will probably check you for it be careful.

The neck usually represents the divide between reason and emotion. Meanwhile, the ants symbolize hard work and a goal-oriented attitude. To see those ants coming out of your mother's neck indicates an impaired judgement. You, or someone you know, could be too engrossed in your own affairs that you fail to see how your actions and attitude affect your loved ones. The scab probably points to a long-running issue in your household which would once again create problems. Achieving balance in your perspective and gaining clarity would entail recognizing other people's opinion and respecting their emotions. This message may be directed to your mother, yourself, or both. This likely requires some introspection to determine the person expressing reluctance towards a possible reconciliation.

Fire ants and a friend dying her hair

I dreamed I saw 3 fire ants moving away from me, I saw a coworker younger friend in my dream. She has dark black hair, in the dream she was getting a little older, and was coloring her hair silver. She got it a little too bright, so was re-doing it a softer silver. She was very friendly as always.

This dream contains three major symbols with very similar meanings. These are the fire ants, the number three and the black hair that turns silver. In essence, all of these symbols predict having to deal with some trouble or inconvenience that could become beneficial to you if you put a lot of time and effort into it. For instance, you might have to deal with annoying co-workers or cohabitants who do not pull their weight in order to finish a major project in time. Although you would suffer and even feel like giving up at some points, pushing through would greatly improve your situation.

Being bitten by ants while in water

I was in water and small black ants biting my hand and I was trying to get them off in the water. They were biting my right hand as well as left hand while I was trying to get them off. Their bites were painful.

Being bitten by black ants and feeling the pain from their bites portends soon becoming the victim in an unfortunate accident. You would have absolutely no control over this situation, adding to the frustration and sadness you feel. The hands themselves could mean one of two things. Either this accident would affect your health, like a car accident or sudden illness, or it would refer to a goal you are trying to achieve. In the latter case, something or someone may prevent you from succeeding in your plans, possibly causing you great distress.

An older man being bitten by fire ants

I dreamed I looked down and there were hundreds of fire ants on the floor, and some were biting me. I moved away and there were still fire ants covering the floor everywhere. There was an older man, I didn't know him, and he was barefoot standing in the fire ants. I told him to watch out, they were biting, but he didn't seem to understand or care. Later, I saw him, and he showed me his foot and said they bit him. I saw the ants had left little holes in his foot. I don't know where this was at.

The fire ants in your dream allude to extreme dissatisfaction or restlessness. It can also be a projection of your impatience due to the slow progress of your projects or delayed plans. Meanwhile, the unfamiliar older man who was standing barefoot over the fire ants refers to another restless person in your social group. This person is much more impatient and ill-equipped to handle delays and roadblocks. Perhaps your subconscious is encouraging you to reach out to this person and help them manage their expectations before they do something that will jeopardize the entire project or venture.

Ants building a nest inside your body

The image of ants building a nest within you is sure to leave you feeling disturbed and possibly violated. This is doubly true if you could feel the moving and crawling over you and covering your body as well. In Eastern cultures, this symbol is usually linked to work. It portends co-workers grouping together to make your life difficult. In many scenarios, it means your enemies would team up to spread rumors, pile on extra work or discredit the good work you have done thus far.

Killing ants

Killing ants during the course of a dream vision, whether you are stepping on them or using a chemical spray, refers to feeling attacked and on the defensive in wake life. You likely feel that you are dealing with multiple problems and fighting various fires as they arise in reality. This constant battle has probably taken a toll on your emotional and spiritual health. You may need to ask for help or take a break to replenish yourself.

Killing black ants

Killing black ants in a dream, whether you provoked a fight or they attacked you first, means that you feel overwhelmed by various problems in your life. The fortunate news, however, is that you know how and have the power to deal with this situation. By utilizing your brains and delegating some work to others, you can overcome this feeling and press ahead.
