Dreams about Maggots

In general, the image of a maggot or maggots in a dream vision is a gloomy harbinger of death and loss. It can refer to both your own inevitable demise or the passing of someone especially close to you, like a close friend or family member. In the case of another person's death, it would likely hurt you significantly or make you feel very lost and hopeless. Another interpretation of the maggot symbol suggests you are hiding or concealing negativity, resentment or disappointment behind a mask of happiness and pleasantries.

Envisioning maggots on a grassy or mossy surface, such as on a lawn or moss-covered rock, predicts conflict or misunderstanding between you and someone you are close to, like a neighbor, friend or family member. While you may think otherwise, you are likely at fault in this situation. Your words, actions or behavior are perhaps aggravating or causing the tension to rise.

Seeing maggots in your meal or in something you are about to put in your mouth could reveal the presence of a jealous rival in reality. This individual is probably envious of some recent success you had or achievement you earned. This man or woman would attempt to disrupt your happiness by spreading malicious rumors in hopes of hurting your image in the eyes of others or at least distracting you from making more headway.

Putting maggots into your mouth or chewing and swallowing maggots during the course of a dream vision is a symbol commonly associated with success and achievement, particularly in current endeavors. In a sense, the negatively normally associated with maggots is neutralized by your destruction of them, similar to the idea that you would eat someone or something for breakfast, a common idiom meaning to easily overcome a certain challenge. Continued efforts toward your particular cause could yield recognition from experts in your field, and success would bring your good fortune and the admiration of even those who doubted you in the beginning.

Seeing maggots crawl around on your body may represent your internal desire to gain more money or become financially independent. It is likely that your intentions are noble and that your intent is to help your family become happier. However, if you were trying to brush the maggots off or squirm away from them, it is more probable that these efforts to gain wealth would end in vain. You may turn to volunteering or religion to find fulfillment and peace of mind.

Finding maggots within your body during a dream is a sure indicator that you are currently carrying a heavy burden in reality. Such a symbol suggests these issues or troubles are something you have not shared with others, meaning the weight of the world is seemingly all on your shoulders. The image of maggots in your body could also refer to a personal tendency to shy away from forming close personal bonds, particularly with your family and potential friends. You may have an unfortunate habit of putting material gain before your relationships.

In general, the image of maggots making their home in rotting flesh is considered an ill omen to perceive in the realm of dreams. It is a predictor of illnesses, disease, injury and poor health for the dreamer, possibly resulting in long term infirmity or death. If this symbol is persistent and constant in your visions, you should seek the advice and expertise of a doctor or another medical professional as soon as possible.

This dream seems to reflect some of the unresolved issues you have with your ex-husband. The maggots in your ex's nose represent your low expectations of him. You probably find him uninteresting, stupid or annoying. The maggots then become cockroaches, a sign that you could have trouble with him in the near future. His attempt to hide the problem with a surgical mask means that he has tried to avoid showing his true colors to other members of your family or social circle, but you could see the maggots, suggesting that you know the truth. While you may not need to advertise his faults to the world, you might want to warn others who could be hurt by his behavior in the future.
