Had an argument with my boyfriend, he was trying to help me with my homework but his suggestions weren't reasonable :/ He ended up logging off in a huff. First time we've been in this kind of situation. Fast forward a few hours, I go to bed early. At some point during the night, I have a nightmare about bugs slowly taking over the basement of my parent's house, where I sleep. Giant golden beetles that doubled as stink bugs, huge praying mantises, and lots of other creepy crawly stingy... things that I can't remember D: At one point during the nightmare I fall asleep in the basement and wake up covered in the things and being stung. I woke up still feeling some of the stings, even though there was nothing there.
Then I log onto messenger, boyfriend is on, we talk a little bit and when I mention the dream he looks up dream symbols. Oh shit:
Beetle
To see a beetle in your dream indicates that some destructive influences may be at work in your waking life. You may also feel that your values and beliefs are being compromised.
Bug
To see a bug in your dream suggests that you are worried about something. It is symbolic of your anxieties and/or fears. What is literally bugging you? Consider also the popular phrase "bitten by the bug" to imply your strong emotional ties or involvement to some activity/interest/hobby. Alternatively, the bug may be representative of your sexual thoughts.
Praying Mantis
To see a praying mantis in your dream suggests that you are involved in a destructive relationship. It may also indicate that you are preying on others. You are behaving deviously.
I always take dream interpretation with a grain of salt. Always. Some of these are spot on, some are more exaggeration (like that mantis one <_<)
