A fly trap in dreams may represent powerlessness and being caught in a cycle that you cannot escape from. It may also represent how greed is entrapping your life and preventing you from attaining happiness.
Some believe that when their dream has a fly trap, it signifies their need for some change. It means that they are feeling like they are in a situation where they have been overrun by the external forces of life.
Others say that the fly trap in a dream is symbolic of the emotional and mental dangers waiting for an individual. This can be an indicator of fear or being overwhelmed with problems in one’s life.
