Flies in Dream

Flies are annoying insects and are often attracted to dirty or decomposing objects. Dreaming about flies indicate that you are feeling annoyed by friends and surroundings. Without a clear head, and thinking your next steps, you may be thinking of doing something foolish. Flies in a dream also signifies a postponement of success.

Some people say that seeing flies in dream is a way to show that you are trying to escape your worries and troubles. Others would argue that it is about the fragility or shortness of life, which is why the fly seems to be hovering around you.

Unfortunately, the interpretation of a fly in a dream is also deeply rooted in the ancient belief that a fly could represent death because they carry diseases and spread them to humans.

  1. I had a dream that I was driving my car, I had installed a coffee machine just underneath the radio – you would put a coffee cup inside it and it would fill with whatever coffee you wanted (sick idea right, the scientists need to get onto this one) anyway, I was drinking my coffee and thinking about how cool the machine was, so went to make another one, except this time, thousands of flies flew out of the coffee machine and into my face. I started to try to hit them to protect my face and when I woke up, much to my embarazzment, I was still trying to hit the flies. I am not sure if this means anything but the coffee machine (TRADEMARK) is a great idea, let’s talk about it x

  2. In my dream a friend had trained flies to fly in formation around him, then they entered his neck and formed patterns under his skin before leaving him.
    I have no idea what this could mean.

  3. I never remember much of my dreams,because they often fade during the course of the day. But this one was very detailed and I can remember most of it.I was in a very rundown apartment or house,there was a man in there with me,even though I felt that I knew him,I could not see his face.we were chatting and cleaning the place when these flies appeared from nowhere,they were like dark clouds,there were so many of them that it became very difficult to breathe,I remember swatting them and panicking,trying to stop them from entering my mouth,The man who was with me had disappeared and I was all alone,basically fighting for my life..then I woke up..

  9. My dream began with me walking down a street, probly mid day,sky was overcast but no rain, i continued walking between buildings and across streets when i came upon the building i wanted to enter. The building had metal steps at the side of it which led to the door, after my foot landed on the 3rd step i looked up on the telephone pole at the side of the building, it was a giant fly just peering at me (was about the size of a dog). it flew down while i was trying to enter the building an started scratching an trying to eat my back, the feeling was so intense it woke me up with the jeering sensation of it trying to kill me. The distinct sounds it made were also very clear as well. I am both puzzled an disturbed by this, clarity would be nice.

  10. I don’t remember my entire dream but I do remember I was bitten on my chest right above my left breast by a black fly it was so painful I looked down at it and it was as if it left its wing in me, but I watched it fly away because I was trying to figure out what caused so much pain. When I looked at the bite area again I was bleeding but the blood was black and the pain was so intense I grabbed myself it hurt so bad I woke up with my hand on my chest with the same pain

  12. I had a dream with flies, I was in my country in my parents house in the front room of the house I was sleeping with my dad and woke up to se the vaulted ceiling crowded with flies, amazingly there was no noise from them given the amount everything was white, it wasn’t unpleasant but still I didn’t like it, I then saw a green small parrot (i’m afraid of birds) and told my dad to get him out, the bird then went behind the curtains righ behind the headboard of the bed I cover myself up and ask my dad to pleeeaaaseee get him out. Could you help me with understanding this? My husband told me he did dreamt about them too.

  13. I had a dream abt flies. My mother and I were killing them their were several baby flies in the bathroom on the wall above the tolleite and I killed the babies. I then went to the living room where my mom was and she had a fly swatter an she was trying to kill the last two which were the size of a grasshopper, but it was har to kill him so I tried stepping on him wth my feet but noticed that I had on only socks. But finally me and my mother killed them all, but I still wen back to the bathroom to make sure the babies were dead and the were. It was strange because the bigger one kept trying to get up of the ground. Could someone give me some incite to what this crazy dream may mean? Sorry for any misspelled words. And short text. It’s those dang on cell phones.

  15. hello, i need help interpreting this dream i had of flies…

    i was outside of the apt bldg i live in, i was looking into the basement of my building which is located on the exterior of the bldg.

    i was looking down the stairs to the open basement door, there were other ppl there i did not recognize and they looked shocked and surprised..there were flies flying around a huge pile of something underneath a large white cloth or sheet…then the dream was over…

    • Often times when we are wandering off to unfamiliar surroundings, the mind will instill into us events that triggers the defensive mechanism of fight or flight. The flies hovering over the large object cover by the sheet is the first warning that whatever is covered up is better left undiscovered.
