Wasps generally bear a negative significance when populating one's dreams. A wasp stings and this is the main reason why the insect is most of the times associated with unfortunate events in your life - events which have taken place in your life and still haunt you or events which are going to take place in your life in the near future.
Besides the fact that the wasp is a very dangerous insect due to the pointed venomous stinger it is endowed with, the colors of its body - yellow and black - also denote a negative dream symbol. If yellow is the color of treachery and hypocrisy, black is the color of extinction, death and all 'dark' feelings and actions.
If this insect is capable of stinging and hurting you, it may denote, when seen in dreams, something or someone that can bring you misfortune and bad luck. Therefore, pay more attention to situations and people in your waking life and be very careful about what you get involved in or individuals you trust. If the wasp in your dream manages to sting you, this means that you have faced or are going to face obstacles and problems in your waking life. But if you succeed in chasing away or killing the wasp before hurting you, it is a positive omen which announces success in dealing with all difficult problems and troubles which may arise on the way. Moreover, killing a wasp in your dream also stands for your capacity to fearlessly fight against enemies and solve all adverse situations in your life.
The wasp in your dream may also represent feelings of envy or hatred, feelings of your own or of individuals you know in the waking life.
The image of a wasps nest in a dream symbolizes all worries and anxieties which haunt you and which should be annihilated/ solved to restore a balance in your life and make you capable of going on with your life.
