I recant! Figured out it was about my own fear.

Was it a fear about your "freedom" or "liberty"? Or was it related to some other aspect of the "structure" of your life? Did you pay your taxes?

Just curious.

I can't think of anything off hand. The emotion of the dream was fear. All seems well here, although in the same dream were scarabs and my older sister having a baby, it was almost martian like. We were both very happy about the birth.
Yes, silly, I paid more than my share! Don't the refund checks have a picture of the statue of liberty on them??? Maybe mine will be lost in the mail!

I do have a question though. My entire life I have dreampt about either beetles, cockroaches or scarabs. No spiders or other insects. They are always in large numbers.
When I was about 10, I had a hullicination while I was in bed. There were large black cockroaches all around me. I couldn't move or talk, literally. I was paralized with fear. Just before waking, I was dreaming I was in a coffin. That wasn't even close to the fear when I had the hallucination. I know I was hallucinating because I layed there for at least 2 minutes. I did manage to get up and get to my mom's room, but the bugs were still all around. I woke her up to come to check out my room, still believing they were there. When she turned the light on, they were gone.

Hmmm ... the hallucination can be explained, but why you dream only of beetles, etc. is a bit more difficult. Do you remember anything from early childhood that this could stem from? ... some kind of "traumatic" event involving one of these bugs?

Yeeeeeesssssss? I thought it too obvious, but we had a lot of waterbugs in our house. At night if you walked into the kitchen and turned on the light, there they were! We had rats, mice, weasels, snakes, a wolverine, flies, maggots, skunks, silverfish, but I don't dream about them! I'm also SURE Big Foot came by once or twice!

So what is the association with your childhood and those bugs, and how/why does that manifest in the present, what is the trigger? Is it some kind of particular stress?
