Liana,
Your dream about bugs being in your skin and popping them out, while not classified as a nightmare and not accompanied by intense negative feelings, suggests a theme of anxiety and the need to address small, irritating issues in your life. The bugs could symbolize minor annoyances or concerns that are "getting under your skin." Popping them out might indicate your desire to confront and resolve these issues, even if the process might be uncomfortable or bothersome.
Considering your previous dreams, there seems to be a recurring theme of overcoming obstacles, such as the big wave threatening to destroy your ship and your decision to swim through it, or the potential crash landing of an airplane that you witnessed. These dreams, including the current one, may reflect a subconscious acknowledgment of challenges you're facing and your proactive attitude toward dealing with them, symbolized by directly taking action to remove the bugs.
The element of protection and care, as seen in the dream with your son playing outside the house you've always wanted, contrasts with the unsettling feeling in the recent bug dream. It could be a manifestation of the protective instincts you have not only for your loved ones but also for yourself, striving to maintain a safe and healthy environment, both physically and emotionally.
The presence of unsettling elements like lava and snakes in your other dreams might be connected to a sense of imminent change or upheaval in your life. These symbols often represent transformation and the primal energy of life's forces. Your consistent action in these dreams, whether it's leaving an area due to lava or responding to a plane crash, shows a resilience in facing change.
Your subconscious may be signaling that it's time to address these smaller irritations, much like the bugs in your skin, to prevent them from causing distress or discomfort. The dreams you've been having seem to illustrate a journey of self-discovery and transformation, with various aspects of your waking life prompting you to confront and tackle issues head-on, finding ways to cleanse and heal yourself just as you rid your skin of the intrusive bugs.
Remember, the interpretations can offer insight, but you have the most intimate understanding of your circumstances, which can help contextualize these symbolic messages from your dreams. Reflect on the nuisances or challenges in your life that may be causing you discomfort and consider how you can actively address them, as you have shown a tendency to do in your dreams.
