Wasps
To dream of wasps represents feelings of annoyance related to behavior that is angry, hostile, and aggressive if provoked. Conflicts, hostile environments, or situations that you perceive as particularly vindictive or revengeful. Internal fears, your encounters with particularly troublesome individuals, or situations where you feel that aggravation and pain will follow any wrong move. Annoying behavior that might get back at you if you don't respect its job being important without interruption. Underlying tensions, unresolved issues, or fears that are bothering you in waking life. Feelings about hatred, vengeance, or angry jealousy for being provoked or interrupted. Feelings of hostility, anger, and aggression for interrupting someone who's job is important.
Positively, dreaming about wasps could represent a healthy respect for things that could go wrong by provoking or interrupting someone. You might be aware of boundaries that need to be set with someone or something harmful. It may also reflect the assertiveness and defense mechanisms you've established to protect yourself from emotional or psychological distress. In some cases, it represents the strength and confidence to confront issues that others avoid for fear of being "stung."
Negatively, dreaming about wasps could represent feelings of fear, anxiety, or being trapped in a situation with problems that seem to have a spiteful or aggressive nature. You might be experiencing a phase in your life where you're dealing with hostility, "stinging" remarks, or individuals who seem to cause pain when you engage with them. It could also symbolize resentment, jealousy, or other negative emotions that you feel are hovering around you.
To dream of being stung by a wasp represents feeling hurt, embarrassed, or disappointed by harsh reactions from others. You may be experiencing the consequences of provoking someone's anger or having crossed a boundary. The sting is a reminder of a mistake made and the emotional response it triggered. It might also signify deep-seated feelings of regret or guilt for having upset someone, intentionally or unintentionally.
To dream of killing a wasp represents overcoming hostility, anger, or aggressiveness that was causing disturbances in your life.
Example: A man dreamed of being at his grandparents house with wasps around. He was hesitant to get in a car if there was even a single wasp, and his boss wanted to collect a few wasps to take home as souvenirs. In waking life, he felt he had recently experienced a workplace pre-christmas party. In this case, the wasps may have reflected his feelings about potential conflicts, uncomfortable interactions, or "stinging" comments that could arise in his workplace environment, particularly during social events like a party. The presence of wasps symbolizes the underlying tension or the fear of provoking hostility among colleagues or his boss.
Example 2: An old man dreamed of being in a prison and seeing huge wasps. In waking life, he felt stuck in a situation and didn't like feeling that he had to do anything to survive even if it meant selling out or survival at all costs. In this case, the huge wasps may have reflected the emotional turmoil associated with feeling trapped, where any decision or action he took could provoke severe and aggressive backlash.
