Beetles
Beetles on the person in a dream mark poverty and small ills in the old books, though to kill them turns the omen favourable. The dream tends to touch minor troubles crawling where we do not want them, and to ask what small, unwelcome things are settling on us, and whether we mean to brush them off.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for beetles, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing them on your person, denotes poverty and small ills. To kill them is good.
