| In general, the image of a maggot or maggots in a dream vision is a gloomy harbinger of death and loss. It can refer to both your own inevitable demise or the passing of someone especially close to you, like a close friend or family member. In the case of another person's death, it would likely hurt you significantly or make you feel very lost and hopeless. Another interpretation of the maggot symbol suggests you are hiding or concealing negativity, resentment or disappointment behind a mask of happiness and pleasantries. |  |
