Another symbolism is that the value of your life is no greater than that of an ant. Or, it could mean that you are more insignificant when compared to something or someone else. This could be a result of feeling inferior, as ants often do. Ants, especially in nature, must work in a group to accomplish anything. The individual ant is insignificant but together they can do amazing things.

For example, a man dreamed of seeing ants crawling around his dead mother-in-law’s body and he couldn’t do anything to help her or make her wake up again. In waking life he was having difficulty letting go of his wife’s mother who had passed away and he felt powerless to bring her back to life.

For example, a woman dreamed of seeing ants crawling up her leg. In waking life she was thinking that her husband was more interested in his new girlfriend than he was in her because he hadn’t touched her in weeks and she kept hearing rumors about how he was being seen around town with another woman. She felt like she had gained weight and would do anything to get rid of it because she thought it made her unattractive to her husband. It eventually turned out that the rumors were false, but she still felt unattractive and out of shape.
