Insects appear in a dream to show how petty grievances and weak adversaries weigh upon the spirit. These small things draw their strength from the way they gather, turning a person’s attention away from what is lasting and toward what is trivial.
When we let these small stings and bothers crowd the mind, the peace of the home begins to fray. Such a way of living invites a scattering of the mind, where the effort of the day is spent on trifles rather than on the foundations of the life. A life caught in this way becomes a place of constant, small interruptions that drain the strength of the people within. A heavy sense of irritation settles over the rooms, making it difficult to find peace in the midst of the common work. May your house remain a place of stillness where only the meaningful things find a seat.
