  29. I dream that I was in the house one night, As I wanted to open the kichen door I just many soldier ant lying up in group some big ones in one place and some small at the other side. As I saw them I call my sister attention to it but she nt take any action so I try to use the cloth in my hand to born them,so I heard her voice that I use not use it so,i was looking for how to kill them,i just pick a small cut of the bed I saw on the floor,put kerosene on it but as I was tryin to fire it, it was not doin immediately I saw my younger brother pour water on the floor I was mad at him again I saw my younger sister springing water mixed with kerosene and as I looked back again on floor I didn’t see any of this ant again I was vary surprise not seeing them again……….. Pls I need a interpretation of this dream.

  30. I dreamt I was somewhere with friends when I realized my right index finger had been bitten by an ant. I looked at it and a friends said, “I think it laid an egg”. I started to pull out what looked like two different bee stingers and eventually a string of ant larvae was coming out with it. I think there were three until the last thing was what looked more like a termite with really big eyes or some kind of harvester ant. There was a big painful hole where I pulled the thing out of and I forced myself awake.

    I’m noticing now there’s some type of scar or maybe a deep cyst on my finger where I was bitten. It could be a scar I don’t remember.

    I read elsewhere ants could symbolize family and children and I find it funny that as I was going to bed, my wife playfully bit my finger very hard. But the dream was about the opposite hand.

    Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated.

  31. Well I was chilling in my dream when my ear started itching, I leave the nice, comfy, scenery, and end up somewhere dark and damp. There’s a mirror and when I look in the mirror I can see perfectly into my ears which appear to get hugh but they aren’t at the same time. All I can see is an ear infested with ants biting through my ears, and I get a hose or some type of water shooting thing to spray them out but some of them stick at first and it makes me panic finally I get them all out and it’s extremely painful, but after all the ants are out it all goes black.
