Wasp

A wasp — quick to sting in spite — often touches enemies who scourge and vilify you, with the effect of envy if one stings, though some read wasps as thrift. The dream may ask where sharp, spiteful hostility is buzzing near you, and whether you can throttle the malice and maintain your rights, or whether you'll feel another's venom.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wasp, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

Wasps, if seen in dreams, denotes that enemies will scourge and spitefully villify you.

If one stings you, you will feel the effect of envy and hatred. To kill them, you will be able to throttle your enemies, and fearlessly maintain your rights.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of wasps denotes thrift and abundance, particularly to farmers and those who have fruit-trees. If a girl dreams that she is stung by a mud-wasp, it foretells that she will marry a gentleman who will love her dearly.
