Dreams about insects, particularly those like yellow jackets, often symbolize feelings of anxiety, irritation, or being overwhelmed by a situation in your life. The presence of multiple nests may suggest that there are several issues or stressors you're facing, and they may feel like they're invading your personal space or peace of mind.
Burning the nests could represent a desire to eradicate these problems or an attempt to take control of a situation that feels chaotic or threatening. It might also indicate a willingness to confront your fears or challenges head-on.
Consider reflecting on any areas in your waking life where you feel overwhelmed or where there are conflicts that need to be addressed. This dream may be encouraging you to take decisive action to eliminate negativity or stressors that are affecting your well-being.
