Please interpret my dream...

It was a weird one. I had a Tupperware tub full of worms and slugs. They were getting hotter and hotter in there and I knew I had to open the lid or they'd die.

I kept getting distracted though. I'd go over and go to open it and something else would distract me. I'd be halfway through the distraction and hurry back to the box seeing the creatures we're getting more and more distressed but then I'd get distracted again. In the dream it was really stressing me out (especially when the worms started exploding) but I never managed to open it.

not sure what to make of it. If anyone is bored enough to offer their thoughts I'd be interested to hear them.

For me, the key part of any dream is the emotion(s) that you were feeling… as these can often be a mirror to regular life.
how did you feel when you went back to the box and could see they were struggling with the heat? how did you feel in each of the ‘scenes’ of the dream?

I agree with PP but also, the subconscious will often make use of visual metaphors. A can of worms means a set of unfaced problems. I'd read a tupperware of worms as being an equivalent, so I'd look for issues in my life that I keep not facing, using distractions as an excuse, while realising they are only getting worse as i ignore them (debts, health issues, relationship/family worries, work, essential house maintenance etc.)

Is there some sort of decision you know you need to make but keep procrastinating?

thank you for replying.

A can of worms! That's so obvious now you say it. I have loads of things niggling my mind. My daughter has a progressive health condition so I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop and for that to get worse but there's nothing I can do about that 😢. I think I did too much with her yesterday and wore her out and I was feeling bad about that. I wonder if that's what it was.

I worry about my sister living with my parents. I worry that I don't own a house and how I'll manage in retirement. So nothing easily fixable!!
