Dreaming of locusts signifies facing difficult situations in life. It can symbolize a crisis, suffering, or punishment.

Ibn Sirin
Locusts — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Locusts" (page 258).
In a dream, locusts represent an adversity, a trial, a calamity or a punishment. They also represent a destructive rain, or an occupation by a vehement army. Eating locusts in a dream means that one will receive money. If one fills a cup or a pitcher with locust in a dream it also means earnings. Any place locusts fly into without causing harm in a dream means overcoming from adversities. Ifa rich person who has lost his wealth sees a swarm oflocust falling all over him in a dream, it means that he will recuperate his wealth.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
