Ants indicate weak, greedy people. Whoever sees ants on his bed will have many children. Whoever sees ants coming out of their hole will be afflicted with worry. Whoever understands the speech of ants will gain authority.

Ants are interpreted as sustenance and fertility. Their entry into the house with food is goodness, blessing, and low prices. Their exit with food indicates poverty and high prices.
