Fleas
Fleas often touch small, biting irritations from those close to you — provocations, slander, the inconstancy of pretended friends. The dream may ask what petty torments are nipping at you, whose nearness is causing more itch than comfort, and where a friend's small betrayals are stirring you toward anger or quiet retaliation.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fleas, 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 fleas, indicates that you will be provoked to anger and retaliation by the evil machinations of those close to you.
For a woman to dream that fleas bite her, foretells that she will be slandered by pretended friends. To see fleas on her lover, denotes inconstancy.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you are tormented with these little insects, is of an unfavorable kind; evil and malicious enemies will do you much injury; your sweetheart will prove false.
