Vermin
Vermin crawling often touch sickness and much trouble, with fair success if you rid yourself of them but danger otherwise, and ill-luck especially indoors. The dream may ask where small, infesting troubles are multiplying around you, and whether you can clear them out before the creeping presence overruns your health or household.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for vermin, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Vermin crawling in your dreams, signifies sickness and much trouble. If you succeed in ridding yourself of them, you will be fairly successful, but otherwise death may come to you, or your relatives.

Fontaine, 1862
To dream of any kind of vermin, is ominous of ill-luck and enemies, especially if they are in the house, or near the fireplace; but if out of the house, they are unimportant.
