Worm

Seeing a worm in a dream; a worm and other creatures of this kind signify property, benefit, those whom a person is obliged to support, or something detested. It means that there are people around you who desire your harm.

Seeing oneself kill a worm in a dream indicates that one will overcome one’s enemies. A person must protect his property and possessions. For in a dream, the worm is an ignoble person who seeks to benefit from a person’s fortune.

The interpretation of seeing a worm in a dream is given as property and benefit, or a detestable condition. Whoever sees a worm upon his garment will come into possession of property. Seeing a large worm in a place signifies that one will receive great esteem and honour. Whoever sees a green worm will marry a good and honest woman.

According to Abu Sa‘id al-Wa‘iz, seeing a worm signifies a relative who brings evil upon the family. According to Kirmani, whoever sees himself digging the earth and pulling a worm from it will gain on account of the soil.

Seeing worms gathered in a heap in the earth in a dream is an indication of abundance. For this reason, much money will come into the hand of the dreamer. Whoever sees in his dream that he is pulling worms from his mouth or from his rear will suffer loss on account of an evil deed he has committed. Whoever sees himself expelling worms by taking medicine will lose several members of his household.

According to another account, the worm signifies the relatives and family who eat from the same table together with a person. Therefore, if he sees something detested in the form of a worm, he will part from someone with whom he eats together.

Ibn Sirin: Seeing a worm in a dream signifies a group of weak and base persons or children.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
