Worm

Interpretation

Worms represent humble labor and decay’s alchemy. Dreaming of them may signal a tough task ahead or fear of hidden threats. Worms in your body highlight anxieties about health or invasive influences. Eating worms echoes warnings against swallowing lies. Seeing them in food urges caution with what you consume emotionally or literally.

Use the dream to prioritize care as you process stressful work.
