Ant Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 12 unique sources about Ant

The positive aspect of ants lies in their incredible industry, organization and persistence. Whenever they appear in a dream, whether as positive or negative creatures, they suggest that hard work and persistence will make a difference in your life. The negative aspect of ants comes out in their robotic nature; dreaming of thousands of ants moving in rigid, pre-determined patterns can suggest you need more variety in your waking life. In this regard, you may feel that your life is too structured and orderly. Ants can also indicate that you are feeling neglected and insignificant in your waking life or that petty things are annoying you. Cooperation may be the only way to achieve your desires. Dreaming of a column of ants is another image reflecting the importance of hard graft and teamwork in real life. An anthill in your dream may symbolize the workplace. [1]
