Dream Symbol
maggots

Can represent physical, mental, or emotional:

• Festering or rotting, as when a situation or feelings that need attention have not been dealt with
• Results of a messy or "stinking" situation
• Undesirable or unclean situation

Dreaming of this insect can represent:

• Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way
• Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this
• Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)

For more clues, pay attention to what the animal was doing or any particular characteristic that stood out.
