Folk omen says that a fly on a plate of food portends a gift. For this reason, in reality it is a good harbinger, although sometimes spoiling the appetite. Sleep is a completely different matter. Here, her image can have many different interpretations, promising both joy and experiences. In this article we will analyze what flies dream of. Dream books, which have gained particular popularity among readers, will become our guides to the world of night dreams.
Overseas Dream Master
The first word in our review will be given to the most authoritative interpreter of night visions - the American psychoanalyst Gustav Miller. The dream book, compiled on the basis of his notes, says that flies in the house are extremely undesirable heroes of night visions. In his opinion, these annoying insects that appeared to someone in a dream carry a warning that in reality the dreamer may be a victim of slander. He should exercise the utmost vigilance in order to stop in time the emergingintrigue.
Next, the master gives an explanation about what in real life awaits a person who kills flies in a dream. He attaches a very positive significance to this action, arguing that in reality the dreamer will not be an easy prey for slanderers and intriguers, but will give them a worthy rebuff. In addition, the more insects end up under his fly swatter or some other deadly weapon for them, the tougher the answer to ill-wishers will be in reality.
Miller makes the only reservation about sticky tape: if he dreams that it is with its help that the dreamer is trying to get rid of flies in the house, then in reality he will have a quarrel with someone close to him or worsening he alth. As for the young girls who saw in a dream a sticky tape with flies, the interpreter prophesies to them the difficulties associated with future marriage.
How dreams with flies were interpreted in Ancient China
In the dream book, the authorship of which is attributed to the ancient Chinese sage Zhou-Gong (XI century BC), flies are presented as friends who haunt the dreamer with their obsession and create a lot of trouble in reality. At the same time, catching flies in a dream, in his opinion, is a sign that this person is destined to soon get involved in an extremely unpleasant story. Another thing is to kill a fly in a dream. In this case, he claims (or the one who writes on his behalf), in reality you can count on getting rid of troubles.
In this ancient, judging by the name of the author, dream book, many flies that have flown into the house have the same meaning as in the work of Mr. Miller - gossip andthe intrigues of secret enemies, but those who landed in a plate of food or a cup of drink portend some kind of fear in real life. It is also undesirable that in a dream they sit on a person, since such a plot twist promises the exposure of his dark deeds. Well, there is no one to blame here - a fly, as you know, will not sit in vain.
Opinion of an Austrian specialist
The famous Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud did not bypass the flies, however, contrary to his habit of considering any topic from the position of a person's sexual preferences, he found a less intriguing, albeit very unexpected interpretation for it. In the dream book he compiled, these pesky insects are, oddly enough, the personification of … children. Accordingly, to do some kind of arbitrariness towards them in a dream - to drive, catch, whip with a rubber fly swatter or, even worse, kill - means that in reality this person feels dislike for children and they cause negative emotions in him.
Developing this topic, the Austrian interpreter writes that if a person tries to kill a fly in a dream just because it annoys him with its buzzing, then this indicates that in reality he is faced with a real problem, to solve which unable, and the anger caused by his own impotence is trying to take out on the child.
Slavonic interpretation
The authors of the dream book, compiled on the basis of the experience of many generations of Slavs (as they say), write that our ancestors considered a fly that appeared at nightvisions, the personification of sadness, which, for reasons beyond the dreamer's control, will soon overwhelm his heart. They do not indicate ways to deal with this scourge, but advise only to prepare yourself for such a turn of events.
They further report that for a long time the image of a fly was perceived as an indication of some real person with whom in reality I would like to break off relations. At the same time, it is explained that it is not only about personal contact, but also about erasing it from your memory. Therefore, killing a fly in a dream can be seen as a desire to get rid of an unpleasant person. In Ukraine, her image was considered a harbinger of crop failure.
Why do flies dream in a woman's dream?
This interesting question is covered by many interpreters. In particular, Freud, who, as noted above, associated the image of flies with children, wrote that if a woman dreams that she beats insects or tries to drive them away, then in reality she is apparently annoyed by her son or daughter. In this case, she should figure out what is the real reason for what is happening, and reconsider her attitude towards them.
According to Mr. Miller, a big fly seen in a dream may indicate that a woman has he alth problems that she herself does not yet know about. It would be very reasonable of her to consult a doctor, pass the necessary tests and follow his instructions in everything. If she dreamed that she was trying to count the flies around her, then such a dream is evidence that in real life she is engaged inout of character and should seriously consider changing careers.
Keep the flies out of the blanket
Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga also spoke about why flies dream in a woman's dream. Without entering into polemics with the authors, whose judgments are given above, she added that, having seen this insect flying into bed in a dream, a woman should be ready for imminent loneliness. She has every reason to fear that the man with whom she shares a bed will leave her and go to some kind of lover, the existence of which she may not suspect. For her, killing a fly in a dream is a good sign that promises victory over an unknown rival.
What does the Universal Dream Book say?
Continuing the review of the opinions expressed by various interpreters, let's open the "Universal Dream Book" and see how its compilers interpret the flies that sometimes fly into our night visions. So, on its pages you can find out that this image indicates the need for changes in the real life of the dreamer. Perhaps he should pay closer attention to the people in his circle of closest friends and decide if all of them are worthy of his sympathy. It is possible that among them were all sorts of slanderers, gossips or other ill-wishers, ready to entangle him with their intrigues.
The compilers of the dream book draw the attention of their readers to the following pattern: the larger the dreaming flies were, the more dangerous in reality the enemies they personify will turn out to be, and the more difficult it will beresist their wiles. A particularly serious danger can threaten the dreamer if the insects he saw bite, and he failed to kill them, or at least drive them away from himself. However, having coped with the flies in a dream, he will be able to overcome all problems in real life.
Belarusian and Indian interpretations of sleep
At the end of the article, we will present a few more excerpts from various dream books, the authors of which considered this topic worthy of attention. So, the authors of a dream book published in Belarus believe that a girl who kills flies in a dream will certainly be lucky in her personal life. She will be able to defeat all rivals with the same ease with which she destroyed annoying insects in a dream.
On the pages of the Indian Dream Book, some interpreters from the banks of the Ganges inform their readers that the flies seen in a dream, although they are a symbol of ill-wishers surrounding a person, can influence the real course of events only if the dreamer, having lost his presence spirit will start to panic. The one who with indifference turns away from their buzzing swarm, and in reality will be inaccessible to his enemies.
The opinion of a Persian sage
At the same time, the Persian interpreter, whose work has been published today and sold on the shelves of bookstores, treats this problem with noticeable skepticism. In his opinion, flies are a symbol of such shameless annoyance of the surrounding people that it can inflict a serious mental trauma on a person, which he can hardly heal on his own. In the samedream book a lot of flies surrounding the dreamer, but not causing him discomfort at the same time, are evidence that in reality he could become an excellent teacher of children.
