Leeches Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 8 unique sources about Leeches

To dream of leeches feeding on your blood signifies a part of your waking life that is sapping your energy and enthusiasm. Leeches in your dream may represent persons around you, old habits, or ill feelings. This will affect your mental and emotional state. On the other hand, if your body is covered in leeches, it indicates repulsion for what you have done or guilt towards someone you have wronged. [1]
Leeches are from the family of worms whose primary association is their capacity to feed off the blood of mammals. Even the term “leech” refers to the slow siphoning off of something, and in this way the leech itself is a symbol of a slow, methodical loss of passion, energy, or life force. Since leeches are mostly aquatic, there is an emotional quality to the meaning of them as a symbol. [2]
To dream of leeches, foretells that enemies will run over your interests.

If they are applied to you for medicinal purposes, you will have a serious illness tn your family (if you escape yourself).

To see them applied to others, denotes sickness or trouble to friends.

If they should bite you, there is danger for you in unexpected places, and you should heed well this warning. [3]

This dream represents people or external agents that drain your vital resources. It tends to cause anguish, as the dreamer sees himself being drained. Being able to pull out or eliminate the leeches is indicative of a feeling of security and confidence in oneself, despite the adversity of the circumstances that are presented in life. [4]
To dream of leeches being applied denotes sickness (Raphael); as an ancient and popular remedy, the application of leeches would connote a subconsciousness of illness. [5]
