If a cockroach dream happens to come from God, it would comes as a revelation unveiling what the enemy is plotting and doing against the dreamer.

Biblical Meaning Of Dreaming Of Cockroaches
The cockroach is unarguably one of the most dispised insects on earth. It has existed right from time and has always been seen as gross by man. No wonder why it is classified as a pest.
Job 38:13 MSGSo you could seize earth like a blanket and shake out the wicked like cockroaches?
Cockroaches are nocturnal insects. They lurk in dark crevices during the day and emerge to go on rampage during the night.
Roaches inhabit and breed in filthy places. If you constantly notice their presence in your home, it simply tells that there is a dark and conducive filthy corner, where they hide to breed and emerge from.
As fragile and harmless looking as cockroaches appear, they are not totally harmless to humans. If given the opportunity, they could contaminate our food and cause us diverse diseases and illnesses.
Cockroaches don't bite, but their infestation (if not curbed in time) can make a home unlivable. The effects of cockroaches in dreams are even more deadly.
It is said in the book of Job Job 38:13 that God shakes out the wicked like cockroaches. Talking of the biblical meaning of cockroaches in dreams, they often represent spiritual filth and the presence of spiritual enemies of the Christian.
My prayer for you is that the Lord sacks every spiritual wickedness from your life today. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ!
Spiritual Meaning Of Dreaming Of Cockroaches
Cockroaches don't always have to live in a home to invade it. They can live in the neighbourhood but find their way into a home in the night, through cracks and openings that the homeowner may not be aware of.
Hence, the presence of roaches in a home in dreams, often represent spiritual contamination that has found its way into the dreamer’s life, through doors they ignorantly left open.
To be more specific, dreams of cockroaches often symbolize the following:
1. The Presence Of Unclean Spirits
Unclean spirits dwell in filthy places. Like cockroaches, they hate the light but love darkness. They operate in darkness to wreak havoc and ruin lives.
Revelation 18:2 BSBAnd he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.
In most dreams where people see cockroaches in their homes, they represent evil spirits. Such dreams often reveal that there are unclean spirits in that home, and they gained entrance likely through cracks the dreamer or homeowner ignorantly opened for them.
2. The Presence Of Sin And Impurity
If there are unconfessed and unrepented sins (like fornication) in the dreamer’s life, they should not be surprised if they start seeing dreams of cockroaches crawling on them or in their apartment.
In an apartment where sinning is the order of the day, dreams of cockroaches are not unexpected. These dreams will often reveal that a particular person or place has been spiritually contaminated.
3. Manifestation Of Witchcraft Activities
Witchcraft activities are parts of the filthy works of darkness. The witchcraft activities in a particular place or home will sometimes show up a dream of cockroach infestation.
That said, whenever you see dreams of cockroaches, it is wise to pray against every form of witchcraft attack that the enemy may have launched against you.
4. Demonic Activities And Contamination
Demonic manipulations or activities in a person's life may sometimes manifest as a dream of cockroaches.
A dream of cockroach infestation doesn't only prove the possibility of demonic presence, but also their activities and contamination over where they appear.
Be it in a church, a home or around a person that a dream of roaches was seen, it communicates that demons have been actively working in that vacinity.
