The base reading of Worm
A worm in a dream is the dictionary's image of slow ground work. The worm aerates the soil; the dream often appears when you have been doing useful preparatory work in your life that nobody, including you, can yet see results from.
Where you often see it. A worm on wet earth. A worm exposed after rain. The dream uses the worm for slow ground work — something useful happening below where you can see it.
What it is not. A worm is not always unpleasant. The dictionary often reads it as the dreamer's quietly productive underground processing.
