Abstract

A majority of humans spend their waking hours surrounded by insects, so it should be no surprise that insects also appear in humans' dreams as we sleep. Dreaming about insects has a peculiar history, marked by our desire to explain a dream's significance and by the tactic of evoking emotions by injecting insects in dream-related works of art, film, music, and literature. I surveyed a scattered literature for examples of insects in dreams, first from the practices of dream interpretation, psychiatry, and scientific study, then from fictional writings and popular culture, and finally in the etymology of entomology by highlighting insects with dream-inspired Latinate names. A wealth of insects in dreams, as documented clinically and culturally, attests to the perceived relevance of dreams and to the ubiquity of insects in our lives.

摘要

大多数人在醒着的时候都被昆虫包围着，所以昆虫在我们睡觉时出现在人类的梦境中也就不足为奇了。梦到昆虫有着奇特的历史，其特点是我们渴望解释梦的意义，以及通过在与梦相关的艺术作品、电影、音乐和文学作品中加入昆虫来唤起情感的策略。我查阅了零散的文献，寻找梦境中出现昆虫的例子，首先是来自解梦、精神病学和科学研究的实践，然后是虚构作品和流行文化，最后是通过突出具有受梦境启发的拉丁化名字的昆虫来研究昆虫学的词源。从临床和文化方面记录的大量梦境中的昆虫，证明了梦境的感知相关性以及昆虫在我们生活中的普遍性。
