Tapeworm
A tapeworm — a parasite quietly consuming from within — often touches disagreeable prospects for health or pleasure. The dream may ask where something hidden is feeding off you, taking the nourishment meant for you, and whether you can recognise the slow inner drain souring your health or enjoyment before it hollows you out further.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tapeworm, 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 you see a tapeworm, or have one, denotes disagreeable prospects for health or for pleasure.
