Biblical meaning of fly dreams
There are 5 verses of flies in the bible: Exodus 8:21-23 · Psalm 105:30-31 · Ecclesiastes 10:1 · Matthew 23:23-24 · Exodus 8:18. Flies in the bible are bad omens that are connected with evil or the prince of demons. But like the bible we shouldn’t read into it so much and break it down in a metaphor.
Flies show up in unclean places, suggesting the gifts God has given you, one or two are not fully utilized and are thus rotting away.
If you think about it when God blesses you with friendship, job, relationship or even good health and you are not appreciative, flies may appear to symbolize the underutilization and neglect of talent or gifting.
In Ecclesiastes 10:1, the Bible says, “As dead flies bring a stench to the perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.” In our dream the fly can represent foolishness can cause costly destruction. Alternatively, the fly could in fact be connect to gods wrath.
In Exodus 8:21 “If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.”
