Do you remember the famous fable about the industrious ant and the wandering cricket? The ant has stored food for winter all summer, while the cricket sang and enjoyed every moment of the hot season - but it had to pay for this laziness and when winter arrived the cricket had no food and no shelter. As a dream symbol, the cricket symbolizes poverty and loss, especially financial loss. If you succeed in chasing the cricket away or make it stop singing, then you will succeed to get over these financially hard times in your life.

Hearing crickets in your dream may also announce unhappy events or bad news coming from a long gone friend. These insects may also stand for all those minor thoughts which haunt and bother you daily, though they are insignificant and you should try to chase them away. Accordingly, the cricket in your dream may also denote a capricious and moody individual.
