A year ago my father died. While he was in the hospital in a coma, grasshoppers started appearing in my home. One stayed on the window for 3 weeks, I think. 
While my father was dying and a few months after he died I dreamt about him a lot. Oftentimes after a dream with my father in it I would see a grasshopper in real life, usually on my car before I went to work.
One time I asked him in my dreams if he was sending me these grasshoppers and he replied 'well I have to keep my eye on you'
It's been a year since he died and I haven't dreamt about him in a while and I haven't seen any grasshoppers, except on the day my semester started three months ago (my dad cared about my education a lot)
Sorry if the story was boring but I couldn't find anything similar on the internet so I was wondering if aynone else had any similar experiences and their thoughts about them

Sorry for your loss anon. I have had dreams of giant bugs (grasshoppers, spiders, etc.) invading my house ever since I was a little kid. I usually associate these dreams with stress.

thanks, stuff like this never happened to me and this seemed like the right place to ask

I looked into it a bit in a book of 20.000 dream interpretation signs by Theresa Cheung. Apparently bugs represent something that is irritating or annoying to you, since they are pests and all usually. So it seems you were bothered by your fathers death, and the grass hopper suggests that you need to do introspection. Although the book says that it's a minor thing which isn't the case here obviously, either way hopefully this is a clue for you because dream interpretation books are really whack sometimes.

Just think about it metaphorically or out of the box like in the bugs case, what would you feel about a grasshopper in a usual situation?

thanks that's cool, it's just that the grasshoppers never appeared in my dreams, they showed up in real life after I would have a dream about my father
for example one jumped on my car's windshield while I was driving to work after I had a dream about my dad 
stuff like that
