Dream symbol · W
Worms
The process of decomposing the old to make room for new emotional growth.
Dream interpretation
Worms often cause disgust, but in symbolism, they are conductors of transformation. They turn dead matter into fertile soil. If you dream of worms, you may be going through a period of cleansing from toxic thoughts or situations. In an earthly sense, they show small irritants undermining your foundations. Do not be frightened by their presence; instead, consider what in your life is 'rotting' and needs complete removal to start fresh. They are a humble sign of the renewal of life's eternal cycle.
