ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of ants in dreams?

Ants are one of the most conformist creatures on earth. They have members who are born into certain roles such as soldier ants, worker ants and queen. They are willing to sacrifice their lives without thought for the group. They symbolise conformity and obedience to some set of rules. E.g.

"I have got to stay in this cult for now but I will just have to stop them controlling my mind"[Dream Dictionary - ant spray]

"My mother just will not let me choose my own career. She insists on me following a traditional path with strong prospects"[Dream Dictionary - killing ants]

"What I consider an ideal holiday is not the same as what my friends mother thinks is ideal. I will just have to fit in with things for now"[Dream symbol - ants on ice cream]
