Dreaming of a moth-eaten garment becoming threadbare and destroyed — This vision signifies that vanity and earthly beauty are temporary and subject to judgment, as all human accomplishments and physical appearance consume away like moth-eaten cloth.
Psalm 39:11Job 13:28
Dreaming of moths dwelling or hiding in dark places within your home or surroundings — This dream reveals that spiritual deterioration operates in hidden, dark areas of your life where sin or compromise remains concealed.

Job 13:28Matthew 6:19-20
Seeing yourself or others experiencing slow, gradual spiritual decline or backsliding represented by moth activity — This dream signifies a progressive process of spiritual death occurring through steady deterioration rather than sudden fall.

Dreaming of your enemies or accusers being consumed by moths and their garments growing old — This dream carries prophetic encouragement that those who condemn or oppose you will themselves face divine judgment and decay.

Isaiah 50:9
Seeing the contrast between earthly treasures being corrupted by moths and heavenly treasures remaining untouched — This dream calls you to examine where you are investing your spiritual energy and resources.
