Flies in my Ears

[mholman]

Last night I was dreaming that I was at my house (I'm away at school now) and I went out onto my deck and then flies started swarming me and going into my ears. I tried to dig them out but they kept flying in faster then I could get them out.

Do you guys know what this means?

To see flies in your dream, symbolizes filth and dirtiness. It indicates feelings of guilt or a breakdown of a plan. Flies may also forewarn of a contagious sickness. Alternatively, the fly could represent an irritating and annoying person in your life. Perhaps someone does not know who to mind their business. To dream of pain in your ear, indicates that you will be receive some bad or offensive news.


hope this helps

yeah i suppose it could be bad. i think people dream about flies when they are feeling down about themselves.

Thank you Mandyy, I think I understand now. For a while I have been struggling with my spirituality, existence, and the meaning therein. I could not reconcile a god or gods with any of my logic or rationality, nor could I find a true distinction between good and bad, because none exist. You could say I began to form a nihilistic outlook on the universe, but I could not live that way, so I decided that my morality would be to try to help the survival of humanity, because our survival could ultimately help the entire universe if we can become the masters of its domain. This sufficed, but was not the ideal.

Anyway, I think that the dream has to do with this: I recently started to look into Buddhism, and began meditating and trying to go for it full force, because it was the only religion that believes in rationality and reason - and no deity - while still giving me hope for enlightenment and inner peace, along with supplementing my nihilistic outlook by saying that nothing exists, but that nothing, it is a beautiful thing, and everything is perfect just the way it is. Last night before I went to bed I tried to meditate and continue, but I was starting to feel distraught by it and started doubting it, so I was only able to meditate for a few minutes before giving up and going to sleep, which I think is the breakdown of a plan that you were describing.

I could not see that my practices were breaking down, but you have showed me that is the case. Thank you so very Much Mandyy.

Hi,

Fly is interpreted as a nasty , abject person.If dreamt flies gathered around him means he will receive money from an ignoble man.If dreamt a fly got into his ear means an ignoble person will tell him a rude word.If dreamt flies bit him means people will be jealous with him.If dreamt killed a fly means he will suppress the jealous person.

Good luck.

Well flies tend to link to things which are irritating you. Ears link often to things you hear. So maybe you are hearing something very irritating... unpleasant to your ears and generally upsetting

Dreams deal with extremes. If you truly understood the meaning of your dream it may be quite negative. We are our own worst judge. We try to detect signals coming from other people. Do people feel we are not cool or incompetent? The dream mind is often very harsh and honest. It tells us things that we do not like to admit to ourselves. It tells us things that we fear. Its worries about how others are seeing us. It’s a big harsh dose of reality.

Yet the dream mind also heads in the other direction. It captures our fantasies and positive feelings. Sometimes you wake up in a positive mood and feel that you are going to tackle a task in a particular way. You are invigorated and positive. Dreams then help motivate us. But often if we go too far in one direction our dreams tell us to cool down and not get carried away. This makes sense really. The dream mind then explores feelings connected with our judgment. We need to motivate ourselves but we also need to be realistic.
