| Worms are generally associated with dirt and decay, but they are also often used to symbolize fertility and maturation. Using those associations, the image of worms coming out of the body in dreams can refer to events and experiences that would cause buried feelings and suppressed issues to come out. Those feelings and issues can either be positive or negative in nature depending on which parts of the body the worms are coming out of. For instance, pulling worms from your ankle can point to situations which would heighten your distaste towards material and worldly things. If the worms are coming out of your eyes, then your views and perspectives could be skewed by negative and counterproductive thoughts and feelings. |  |
