Tapeworm in Dreams

Dreaming about tapeworms indicate poor health and discomfort in digestive tracts. Tapeworms are a cause for worry because they are parasites that feed off the nutrients required by the human body. Often the dreamer of tapeworms is already in a sickly shape due to their health deteriorating.

A tapeworm in a dream can signify the feeling of being stuck in a bad emotional situation and not knowing how to get out. It can also indicate that you need to take care of your health.

Envisioning tapeworms in a dream can be caused by eating undercooked meat or by eating food that has been gnawed on by rats or maggots.

  1. Hi,

    Last night I had this horrible dream. I had a pimple right down the beginning of my right eyebrow.
    I want to squeeze it out and a super long tappleworm with red and green colour came out of it alive then I squeezed again and baby tapeworms came out. I was so freaked out. The big one tried to come back jumping on my right eye. I put them all in the sink and blend them. Then I look at myself in the mirror feeling pain and relieve and I see my left eye is red, my iris is black and it is stuck looking to the right. I woke up. Sooo freaking scary. Can someone help me understand? I feel it’s important. Can’t stop thinking about it!

  2. I dreamt I went paddling in really cold water but as soon as I walked on the sand, I felt the tapeworms crawling under my skin in my arms and feet. One poked out through my eye.
    I was travelling with people I didn’t know.

  6. I dreamed I was in some kind of large warehouse with my dog (who has had a few cases of tapeworms). I can’t remember exactly if I pulled the tape worm out of myself or if it was just trying to get inside of me. but it was chasing me & then would circle up & start doing flips like some worms do. I was freaked out in my dream because it wouldn’t stop chasing me! If anyone has any idea of what this dream could mean, it would be greatly appreciated lol.

  8. I dreamed I was at a party, drinking or something. I felt really sick, but I couldn’t throw up. I stuck my finger down my throat and felt something and pulled out a huge huge tape worm. I felt it coming up and everything. I could even.. Taste it. It fell to the ground and I threw up and threw up. So many times… Definitely not a happy dream.

  9. I dreamed my head hurt and I went to the doctors. At the hospital a doctor went up my nose and pulled this huge tapeworm out of it and said I had that in my sinuses. I was really freaked when he gave it to me to throw away. The worm was alive and I was worried it was going to go inside me again.

  10. I dreamed of an open cut on my left arm, i started to squeeze the area and the white part of a tapeworm came popped out, i pulled and pulled and the whole long white tapeworm came out. I threw it on the ground, it must of been 30 ft. it was still alive. I stood feeling sick, thinking there must be more inside of me. Then i felt down below and felt one coming out of my bottom, i was pulling pieces of worms out. I kept pulling and pulling them out. I believe i was covering myself below, but asked my father to see what i was pulling out. My father died 20+ years ago.

  11. I had a dream where I kept cleaning out dead tapeworms from my hermit crab tank. Then I was at an out door camp ground festival that was packed with a bunch of people. There was this older biker man who was infected with tapeworms. I was very concerned I or other people might catch it from him and I kept washing my hands. What does this dream mean?!?!?

  12. I had a dream that I didn’t realise there were tape worms everywhere and my stepdad worn me, when I looked down they were everywhere. I went out of the house, when I looked at my hands the were crawling into my skin. One I manged to pull out and throw it but the 5 got in. I was talking to my mum and we was disgusting that tapeworms can help you lose weight. I joked saying well I know I having had them for long as I’m this size!(I’m a lager end of size 14) What does this dream mean, if anyone can shed some light on it that would be great. Thanks

  13. All I can remember from my dream, is having my gums exposed and a large cyst coming out from them. Then tapeworms came out. With large round mouths on the end, clinging to my mouth and throat. I remember keeping the worms in my mouth…filling with blood and the wiggling of the worms. I had to pull them off of my skin and I held them. I looked in my mouth and it was scarred and bloody. Its weird, but I love dreams like this.

  14. I just woke up from a dream and I am really grossed out. In my dream I had a rash on my left arm. At first I thought it was just behind my elbow but then someone pointed out that it was all down the underpart of my forearm. I asked my grandmom if she knew what the rash was because it looked really bad and I wanted to get rid of it. She used a magnifying glass that looked more like one of those glasses jewelers use to analyze diamonds and told me it was parasite worms and that I should go to the doctor immediately for antibiotics to get rid of them. The problem was that it was evening and offices were closed and I knew I was too grossed out to think about anything else or sleep, so I went in the bathroom and scratched my arm with my nails. Tapeworms began appearing in the hundreds, falling off where skin had been. Occasionally, I’d find a “tunnel” in my skin and I was able to slowly squeeze the worms out of the tunnel one at a time. The sink was filled with tapeworms which I kept washing down the drain. There was never blood, but soon I had scabs appearing on my wrist and forearm. Most of the worms were removed, all the ones I could get, and I resolved to go to the doctor in the morning to get antibiotics to get rid of the rest. What do you think it means?

  15. I dreamed of a green tapeworm. It was like the magic trick where you are pulling the never ending hankerchief from you mouth, instead it was a green tapeworm. What could this possible mean.

Then later in my dream i could feel them crawling up my throat and my sister and i would pull them out.

    • you are not alone, hilary. i have recurring, terrifying dreams about tapeworms squirming out of me and trying to pull them out but they slip out of my hands and wriggle back inside… very terrifying

      • I have a similar dream like Hillary. I dreamed tapeworms crawling up my throat and I pull them out with handful of tapeworms. Many of them were big as my little finger and they’re all alive. The analysis for that dream of tapeworms seems not suited the case because I’m fit and healthy. The dream may indicate a troublesome relationship. The dreamer may have friends who tend to be suckers. They try to take benefit or advantage on the dreamer. Furthermore, that relationship get the dreamer’s family to get involved to help work thing out.

      • Kyle j. It may mean you have an addiction you cant get rid of and the parasite is still slipping back in and feeding on your weakness?
