Ants in Dream

Ants are associated with lot of activity. Expect to get things done after a productive dream about ants and its work habits. There are feelings of general satisfaction for all things in life as to how ants work in unity whether it is familiar or new surroundings. Worker ants helps you maintain and cooperate to achieve your goals.

The most common interpretation is that ants represent hard work or busyness, with all sorts of possible variations. For instance, being chased by an army of ants can be interpreted as feeling overwhelmed at work, whilst dreaming about riding on an ant’s back may mean feeling insignificant and small at work.

Ants in a dream often represent a sense of community. If you are lonely or feeling abandoned, ants will likely be crawling across your body and they will signify that you are not part of a group or society.

  11. So at first I dreamt I was swimming in a shallowish pool with other people, then I go to the changing room/ showers and put my clothes down on a bench but i cant get a shower because people kept jumping infront of me. So I go over to the bench to get my clothes and there’s a woman taking photographs up close of them so I tell her to leave and she said can you not see them and as I looked down at my pile of clothes they were covered in swarming ants and anytime I tried to grab my clothes I would be bitten/stung. So I was left without my clothes and trying to hide my body from all the men, woman and children in the changing room.

  28. I dreamt that I entered my classroom and noticed my closet doors were opened and in one closet there were so many ants on each shelf and among my supplies. I was hopeless as to what to do; I stood looking as they crawled about; some even on me. My superior who sat in the back conversing with a child ( was busy to chat further with me) called for me to get from there. By the way school was not in session and seemed closet doors were pry opened from the way they were left.

  30. I was at home, but it wasn’t actually the home I live in now, and there were several pine trees lined up separating my yard from a road and had pine straw around them and somehow the pine straw caught fire. I noticed it smoking and flame up while I was standing outside and then I had red ants all in the bangs of my hair. I kept trying to scratch them out and more and more just kept getting in my hair. I went inside to tell people the pine straw was on fire and we needed to put it out, because I couldn’t because I couldn’t get rid of the ants but no one ever went and put it out. No one seemed worried about it. That’s all I can remember.

I would point my finger and they sprayed out of it and it looked like gooey stuff in some of them but mostly little tiny ants.

  34. I dreamt that an ant mound with ants was at the foot of my bed on my side of the bed. I did not feel frightened by it in my dream. I just wondered why they were there. In the same dream, I saw a black ally cat (one that I had seen in my backyard about a year ago, and who at that time looked at me in a very evil way) but in the dream, the cat (a male, a presume) just looked at me calmly and began walking out of my room.

  35. I dreamt of driving to my old house and openning the garage door and seeing my old dog that ran away(I called his name but he did not respond) and I tought that it was maybe because it was not my old dog but a new one that looks exactly like the old dog. I enter the house through the garage and I am in the kitchen and I see a ton of ants on the counter. I take a spray can of ant killer and spray it on the counter and it foamed. I proceed to the bedroom where two people are sleeping; one is my husband and the other one is a white woman with blonde hair. My husband has his hand on one of her breast and she looked up and see me and said” I’m sorry, i’m really sorry. I looked in the right corner of the room and see this boy sitting in a high chair; he is blonde; just staring at the bed. I am so mad that I start beating my husband and he just stay and take the beating. and then I woke up…

  40. I had a dream that I was in a room (unrecognized house) and a guy was there with me (can’t remember who) and he pointed out to me that there were a lot of ants crawling on the wall behind me, I turned around looked at the wall of course noticed the ants, then I turned to the other wall and noticed there were also ants crawling on that wall. I then stated I need to call buNNi (bestfriend of mine) to ask her for some ant spray. After I said that I picked up a purple can of lysol and then sprayed the first wall of ants noticed, some died others crawled away and then I was worried about the lysol leaving a purple stain on the wall so I decided to scrub it and it only made it worse then I woke up.

    I have no idea what this means 🙁

  43. Weird! I had a dream that I was being asked to sing a song with my colleagues (i’m a teacher) and I noticed something on the other side if the room that was completely covered with red ants! There were so many that I could hear them! I could focus on anything else and I tried to get someone to do something about them but no one would. I felt like they were going to start crawling all over me as I started to see them on the floor next to me! So weird! I don’t typically dream very often so I was just curious if there was any significance to this dream!

I got some spray and when I sprayed would then notice more ants in other areas. I then looked up and there was a very small black chihuahua and it appeared to be walking on all fours along the wall but really, hundreds of these ants had totally tacked onto its body and was walking and pretty much carrying the dog.

  52. In my dream giant ants were breaking through my apartment walls from the north and east. My only means of defense was a staple gun. Eventually the ants made it through, and it turned out that my apartment building was a whale who was at war with the ants. After suffering heavy losses, the whale made peace with the ants. Then the whale swallowed a bunch of the ants that I had killed, as well as its own bloody jaw. Then I woke up. This is the second time I’ve had this dream with the ants (that I remember), but I never had the part with the whale before.

    I hope you enjoyed it, but I’m feeling rather ill.

  59. In my dream, I woke up feeling something heavy moving on my legs. I look down to find a giant golden ant(about 5 feet) sneaking up on me. I was like shit, im going to be antfood but it was too heavy to overpower…. So I went back to sleep. When I awoke again in my dream, the ant was gone. When I went to take a piss, there was something in the way, something hanging like a very heavy bag. I pushed it to the side/tried to get around it. It felt fleshy but taut and upon inspection, it was the same golden ant….but I think it hung itself or something. It was dead. It did have wings.

    • By actively interrupting the ants’ process in the dream, it is an indication of how you normally get interrupted with frivolous task and abort the bigger picture. Leaving big projects unfinished and unattended leads you to fail in careers or relationships.

      Be more attentive and learn to follow through.

    • You are reminded by the fire ants as how your grandmother used to tell you never to give up. Be productive regardless if you are 7 years old or 27 years old because we are judge by our actions, not what we accumulate in terms of material wealth.
