Diligence, patience, collective effort
Number Three
Trinity, creativity, expression
Ant
Ants represent tireless work, patience, and the power of collective effort. A single ant may seem insignificant, but together ants build impressive structures. Dreaming of ants may suggest you need more patience and persistence, or that small consistent efforts will lead to great results. Ants crawling on your body may indicate minor irritations accumulating.
Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
