Ants represent the survival instinct and, in our environment, also diligence (hardworking as an ant).
Ants in a dream represent strength and style and diligence, as they can lift 5000 times their own body weight.
This feature is also reflected in the fable about the ant and the moray eel.
They can represent spiritual value, in which case they indicate our ability to get through really hard things and be capable of many things.
They also represent the ability to stay present in the moment.
They are very hardworking creatures, they can represent our work efficiency and self-sacrifice.
