In real-life ants can be pretty annoying. Rapidly roaming around the house, forming colonies in hidden places, stealing your food, biting you in places where you would never think so… Even so, we just can’t stop admiring their persistence and hard work, whether they are alone or in a swarm.
Did you know about the fun fact that ants don’t have ears, but they can feel the vibrations in the earth through their feet? That is how much they are connected to nature.
Speaking of ants in general, dreaming about them can be a reflection of how you see yourself in the working process. You are a hard worker, dedicated, and almost rigid when it comes to creating habits that bring you success. Completely focused on achieving your goals, persistent and diligent. Ants in your dreams are there to tell you that your hard work will pay off and you will get the results you deserve.

Seeing ants all over the place, not just in a dream
Have you ever seen an ant that stands or walks alone by himself? No, right? There is always another one somewhere close. But if you had a dream of a single ant, then you might ask yourself some questions. For example, when was the last time you went out with your friends? Why is it so hard for you to connect with others?
Possibly you are feeling alone and insignificant compared to others, which makes you withdraw even more. Nevertheless, the fact that you had this dream means you are not okay with your situation.
If, on the other hand, you had a dream of a lot of ants crawling here and there, then how you feel during the dream is how you are feeling in real life. For instance, if you’re seeing a swarm of ants as a cool crowd you want to be a part of, then your dream shows you just want to feel belonged. Contrarily, if the crowd scares you or you find it repulsive, then the dream implies your need to step aside and be alone for a while.
According to other interpretations, your dream of lots of ants can be a sign of moving into another place, where you will find more opportunities for a better workplace and a bigger budget.
To dream of ants carrying food – how rude!
Ants carrying food in your dream could be interpreted in separate ways. One, that says you are spending too much money on irrelevant things and that you should start saving some if you don’t want to end up broke. You might put yourself in a position where you won’t be able to cover your basic living costs, a little less your family’s needs.
The other interpretation suggests that you’ve been investing a lot of your time and patience in some projects, and now you will see the results of that hard work. But, although an ant is stronger than we could ever imagine, not even an ant will take all the burden by himself. Show some signs of goodwill and cooperation with your coworkers.
