Line of ants
Ants moving in a single file — small, disciplined labour following a path that everyone obeys.
A line of ants in a dream is the dream's image of small, disciplined labour following a path that every member of the line obeys. The individual ant is unimportant; the line is what gets the work done. The dream brings the line when something in your life — a routine, an institutional process, a habit shared across a team — is moving steadily because everyone is keeping to the same track. A line of ants carrying food back to the nest is the dream affirming the discipline. A line broken by a foot or by rain is the dream noting that the path has been interrupted, and the work depending on the line is now stalled until it can be reformed.
