Incest
The act of incest in a dream may symbolize a real-life incident that you witnessed or were involved in. If this is the case, talk to a good psychotherapist.
For a man, a dream of incest with his daughter will usually express fear of the erotic element in your feelings toward his daughter in real life; but also be a straightforward expression of desire.
In a man's dream involving his sister, the sister may represaent the anima figure representing the feminine side of his nature.
In a man's dream with his mother, the mother may express the desire he felt for her as a boy.
For a woman,if the dream is about her father, it may be an expression of her (repressed) childhhod desire for her father. A dream with her brother may be an animus symbol, her masculine qualities. A dream with incest with her son, or incestous desires, are probably expressing her anxiety concerning her - natural - sensuous pleasure in the sight and touch of him.
A man's dream or fantasized incest with his mother may represent a death-wish, a desire to return to the womb. This means your mother has properties of the Earth Mother (archetypal) in her negative, devouring aspect; he needs to throw off an attachment to his mother that is preventing the unfolding of his own individual self.

Inquistor

Insects

What's bugging you? Insects are annoying at times and may represent some atitudes or persons that are annoying you in real life.
If a solitary insect, it may be bringing a message from your inner self (the unconscious). Remember the cricket in Pinocchio's adventure?
Invalid

It may symbolize your relationship with your mother (represented by the sea, the mother being the higher source). Is the sea threatening to engulf the island?
