Bugs
Bugs in a dream stir a particular revulsion, and the old books read them as disgusting complications rising in daily life, troubles that infest the household. The dream tends to touch the small, swarming, unwelcome things that creep into our affairs, and to ask what infestation of petty trouble we are battling to clear.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bugs, 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 bugs denotes that some disgustingly revolting complications will rise in your daily life. Families will suffer from the carelessness of servants, and sickness may follow.
