The ear in dreams has an interesting meaning because it is connected to the idea of listening, attention, reflection and wisdom.
In fact, the ear is the organ that allows us to hear; very important for our survival, because thanks to it we can perceive noises and dangers.
But it also allows us to communicate with others, listen to advice, warnings, learn from the experiences of others, participate in the problems of other people, and welcome their outbursts and confidences.
Dreaming of Earwax – Meaning
The ear puts us in touch with the outside world, with its voices and its noises.
However, the ear can also be a symbol of listening to yourself and your inner life.
The ear has a shape that recalls that of the female reproductive organ. To this is connected the idea of birth: in fact, some myths tell of ancient divinities born from the ear of their parent.
The pierced ear can be linked to the idea of defloration, of physical possession and, more metaphorically, of belonging (which is reflected in the habit, in antiquity, of piercing the ears of slaves).
Severed ear: in dreams it can be a symbol of castration; dreaming that someone cuts your ears may indicate that that person takes away your power, not necessarily in a purely emotional sense; it takes away, more generally, an important means for your realization in life.
Dreaming of having an earache could originate from actual ear pain. If you exclude a physical cause, an ear that hurts, or is injured and bleeding could indicate that you have been the victim of verbal violence, someone has hurt you with words.
Ears can indicate sacrifice on your part, a great willingness to always listen to others, but in the long run this is to your detriment.
Dreaming of being without ears can indicate closure in oneself: perhaps for fear of being hurt you are isolating yourself, keeping others away from you

All this indicates that there are two psychic instances, two ‘forces’ fighting each other: one would like you to feel, and the other does not want you to feel to protect yourself from something that might bother you.
What conflicting situation are you experiencing? The dream could also indicate problems with the auditory system; better to make a checkup to check the health of your ears.
Many people dream of having worms or insects in their ears: gnats, spiders, bees, worms, flies, ticks, ants, butterflies, etc.: this can represent a troublesome thought, fastidious or that bothers you and you want to get rid of.
