Dreaming of lice: what is the meaning and interpretations?

The louse is a wingless insect. Therefore, symbolically, dream about lice it may mean that the dreamer is feeling different and unable to live life more freely, without so many limitations.

There are several contexts and, therefore, different meanings of dreaming about lice. Check out more details below to help you better understand your dream and even help you make decisions in your life.

As the louse is tiny, there is also the possibility, in psychological terms, that whoever dreams of this insect is feeling small and inferior at this stage of his life. The inferiority complex may be accentuated.

An important detail of the louse is that it is a parasite, that is, it feeds on blood, waste from the epidermis or feathers and sebaceous secretions of the host.

Therefore, from a symbolic perspective, it may be that the dreamer is going through a time when he is letting himself be sucked, “vampirized” by others and the environment, or that he is adopting certain habits and beliefs that sabotage him, leaving him without vitality and willingness to face day-to-day challenges.

Step One: Questions to Ask Yourself About the Dream

Are you plagued with lice or is someone you know plagued with lice? Do you feel a connection with the insect, as if you were one of them? How are you reacting to head lice, whether on you or someone else? With disgust, laughing, passive or seeking to fight this plague? Are you an agent of head lice infestation, spreading them wherever you go?

Step Two: What’s Happening in Your Real Life

The meaning of dreaming about lice is not necessarily good or bad. As I said at the beginning of the text, dreaming about cheating on a boyfriend or any type of relationship can say much more about yourself than about someone else. Below, see some of these meanings.

Dream about lice on my head

If you are infested with head lice, it is worth identifying new ways of behaving that no longer leave you at the mercy of situations and relationships that drain your energy.

Dreaming of lice on someone else’s head, try to verify to what extent certain outstanding characteristics in their personality are precisely the behaviors that you have been adopting and that are causing you some damage, some loss.

Dreaming like a louse

When you feel a strong connection with the lice, a naturalness, as if you were one of them, try to verify that you are not victimizing yourself so much, belittling yourself and sabotaging yourself in everyday life and in life as a whole.

Dream as if you spread lice

The way your dream-ego (you in the dream) reacts to the presence of head lice may represent the way you have been dealing with circumstances in which you feel inferior, exploited, and “vampirized”: accepting good-naturedly, angrily, passively, or seeking combat these situations?

If you are an agent responsible for spreading lice in the dream, it is worth recognizing that you may be acting in a very passive and relaxed way, sucking energy from the people around you and wanting them to do for you what is their total responsibility. responsibility.
