Leeches are parasitic creatures that feed on the blood of their host. In medieval times, leeches were used for medicinal purposes, and those who collected them were known as “leech-gatherers.” Today, leeches are generally considered to be pests, and most people go to great lengths to avoid them. Dreams of killing leeches may symbolize a person’s repressed anger or hostility. Alternatively, the dream may represent a desire to rid oneself of something that is draining one’s energy or resources. Whether the leeches in your dream are literal or symbolic, consider what they might represent and how you can address the issue in your waking life.
