I sometimes see the future in dreams - have a problem with a dream about maggots?

Question

So a little while back I had a dream that a friend and I were walking through my house, and there were boards all over the walls, as though refurbishment were taking place. We looked into the bathroom, and underneath the floorboards there was basically a sea of red maggots.

Today I woke up, went downstairs and mum and the rest of my family were gathered around a sideboard in the kitchen, staring at the ceiling. I asked what was going on, and mum said that maggots were falling from the ceiling onto the sideboard, and she didn't know where they were coming from. The kitchen is directly below the bathroom. After much fussing and crying I managed to get my dad to go upstairs and pull up some floorboards in the bathroom - there are no maggots there, and we cannot find where they are coming from. There is simply no-where else they could be - the ceiling they're falling from is exactly where we looked, we searched all beneath the bathroom floorboards.

I'm worried - what should I do?

The thing that scares me is that no-one will listen to me. It took me HOURS to get my dad to pull up the floorboards. I want to call an exterminator in, but they won't listen. That is exactly what happened in the dream, and thats how they grew to be a sea of maggots. They were red and I remember that in the dream I KNEW that this meant they were damaging me and my family, and that's why the house was boarded up.

We think what it is is that a little while back we saw a rat in our attic, so we left rat poison all over the place, but one of the rats crawled into a small loft space and died, but it's full of filberglass and only about 1/4 meter high, so we can't get in there to sort it out. That would attract maggots, i'm sure!

Anyway, decided to at least check that it wasn't some kind of maggot that would grow into some kind of fly that stings or bites, so i've put one in a jar with some rotting meat (dog food) and am gonna leave it to turn into a fly, then i'm gonna gas it and look it up in an insect book to find out what we're dealing with... face the problem head-on, right? :)

Answer 1

Have you had dreams before that came to fruition?
I've heard of some people that could sense things that their mind didn't know how to interpret (sounds, smells, etc), but in their dreams, their brain showed an interpretation of what was causing the sound/smell. When the source was finally revealed, the person that had the dream thought it was fore-sight or a dream about the future.

It's possible you may have heard/felt something that your subconscious picked up and translated into a dream...... and it's also possible that you may be able to sense things that haven't happened yet (precognition).
At this point in history, we don't understand most of what the brain is capable of, nor the potential it may possess. What some people think of as science fiction may be something that the brain is actually able to do that hasn't been seen in enough people to document or study it (Telekinesis, Precognition, or may other things). I've had many instances where I seemed to know what was going to happen before it happened..... but that could be an overactive imagination, interpretation of my subconscious of things that my conscious mind doesn't know how to interpret , or some other theory... I don't really know.

That being said, without research that hasn't been done yet, it's impossible to say if you are actually seeing the future or if you are just sensing things that others might not.

my friend does weird stuff like that all the time & it scares the crap out of her, she had a dream about a red car hitting her & the next day she got in a car accident & the same thing happened, & she had a neck injury

u should call an exterminator 2 get read of all them maggots they could like eat ur house & stuff or maybe theyre potentially dangerous to yall??
if u cant convince them just call & ask the exterminator what you should do yourselves & how serious it is, a professional can give yall some advice

Answer 3

Maggot live on excrements and decaying flesh. You may want to let your parents know if they don't investigate the maggots, they're going to have a much bigger problem on their hands. maggots should not be ignored.

Do some research on maggots, collect your facts and show your parents. They just might listen then. Good luck :)

Answer 4

The reason the maggots were red in your dream is because red presents the warfaring nature of the devil. Red also represents the Blood of Jesus Christ. But in this case, it is a work of the devil in your house. And the enemy is trying to mess with your mind.

Answer 5

freud's mate, jung, believed that the house was the symbol of self in dreams...the attic would represent higher things like spirituality for example...i don't know if your dream was straightforward prohesying or not but would tend to believe that the problems we have, as symbolised in dreams, are more likely to find expression in the real world than vice versa (i know - i'm weird!)

you living in a family that sweeps things under the carpet?...maybe buries truths about you under the floorboards? if that IS the case then your dire predictions for the general well-being of the family don't seem wild at all...and neither does your dad's reluctance to do anything about the problem - people bury things for their own reasons.

i was lucky enough to find a psychotherapist who didn't tell me i was nuts when i told her about the strange things i saw in my dreams...iinstead she told me about visions she had and lent me a coupla books on sprituality that helped me understand what i had seen.

i hope you can find someone trustworthy and wise near you who you can really confide in.
