Baby Centipede in dreams

Many small reactions to one thing — overcommitment of small parts.

In its baby form, the symbol points to a new, vulnerable instance of itself — something that requires care, cannot yet defend itself, and may not yet be ready for the world. Forgetting or losing the baby version of the symbol in the dream is one of the dictionary's strongest signals of neglect.

A centipede in a dream is the dictionary's image of many small reactions happening to one cause. The centipede walks with many legs at once; the dream often appears when one situation in your life has triggered many small responses in you, each of which is taking a little energy.

Where you often see it. A centipede across a bathroom floor. A centipede on a familiar surface. The dream uses the centipede for many small reactions to one thing — overcommitment of small parts to a single response.

What it is not. A centipede is not always disgust. The dictionary often reads it as the dreamer's many-jointed reaction to a single trigger.

Related in the dictionary. Read centipede with insect, spider (its calmer cousin), and any scene of over-articulated reaction.
