   Scarab beetles are well known as Egyptian symbols (but not sure what they   
   mean.  Something to do with eternity or eternal life, but *definitely* part of   
   the Ancient Egyptian culture.   
      
   As to what difference it might make, I can see how if they were NOT scarab   
   beetles, that *would* make a difference, somewhat like the difference between   
   saying "bird" when it could've been a hummingbird or a California Condor.  I   
   figure the "insect"    
   presence was likely the main thing, that they appeared *similar* to scarab   
   beetles was 2nd, and that they appeared to be beetles would likely be 3rd.   
      
   Just as a kind of "maybe," later that day (or yesterday?) I was dealing with   
   some folk (case A, case B, case C) where their thought / writing online   
   appeared to be rather "broken."  Whether they were English as a 2nd language   
   or not, some of the core    
   ideas (?) trying to be presented were simply dysfunctional, or "cognitively   
   dissonant."  Such is the sign of a "demonic" presence— unable to present   
   what appears to be any form of logic or reason.  It *could* have been that the   
   dream was a kind of    
   representation of the instinct to "stand away from" any eruption of insects   
   (trolls online.)
