Fleas

Flea, Flea bites, Fleas on a dog

Fleas are tiny and quick, and their bites itch like mad, so dreaming of them usually means small annoyances that won't leave you alone. They can stand for nagging chores, little digs from someone close, or a worry that keeps hopping back just when you think it's gone. Fleas on a pet can show that someone you care for is being pestered and could use your help. Being covered in them may reflect feeling crowded by demands you never agreed to. A pet that finally stops scratching is a happy sight, a sign that a run of small trouble is ending.
