Meaning of rats in a dream

What do dreams about this subject mean? Before determing what your rat dream means, you must first ask yourself what you associate with rats, says O'Connor. Are you afraid of them or do you think they're cute? "Rats are seen by many people as pests that carry disease or cause other problems so they have many negative connotations," she notes. "Yet rats are also survivors, able to withstand harsh environments and highly intelligent. The meaning will evolve from both your association with the qualities of rats as well as what is going on in your current life." What can I learn about myself from dreaming about rats? "The first thing to think about is whether you or someone you know is behaving unethically in a situation in your life," suggests O'Connor. "You often hear the expression that someone is a 'rat,' meaning he is untrustworthy or has betrayed someone." Alternatively, a rat in your dream could represent feeling like you're caught in a maze somewhere in your daily life. Are there any tricks to avoiding or inducing dreams about this subject? If you fear rats, set the intention of waking up in a dream if a rat appears. "This is a technique known as lucid dreaming," she says. "In a lucid dream, you can notice you are dreaming and take control of the dream events and overcome your fears." If you want to dream about rats, then visualize rats before falling asleep. Beyond analysis, what cultural symbolism can be found in dreams about rats? "In Chinese culture, the first symbol of the zodiac is a rat and people born in a rat year are said to possess the positive qualities, including creativity and intelligence, of a rat," explains O'Connor. "In Hindu tradition, rats are associated with the god Ganesh, who is worshiped as the remover of obstacles. In some Native American traditions, rats are symbols of survival and lack of fear." Dreamers from these various cultural traditions may find a different meaning from those in a traditional western culture. Who tends to have dreams about this subject most frequently? According to O'Connor, rat dreams do not affect one swath of the population more than another. Does it mean anything if the rat is dead in my dream? Dreaming about a dead rat may mean you're overwhelmed or frightful about a situation in your real life. It could also represent letting go of a relationship, especially if that relationship involves betrayal. "In that case, the dream is letting you know that the situation has come to an end," notes O'Connor.

This is a recurring dream for many years. I dream I am alone or with my two children at the house where I grew up as a child. The main focus and my main responsibility of the dream is to always lock the gate outside the yard before it turns night. Sometimes during the dream, I will look through the window in the night to make sure it is locked. In the last dream, I did not lock the gate, if seems it was not urgent or I forgot or got distracted. When I came outside my car was stollen. I went to the gate to close and lock it but I struggled because it seems the lock was broken. I eventually got it locked with much struggle.

It was morning. I was driving up to my old elementary school in Albany Georgia. There was a young 7-9? year old boy in the car with me. As I drove into the parking lot the school looked abandoned. It was as though class hadn't been held there for years. However, in this moment, I felt hope. As though something big was about to change for the good. The little boy hoped out the car and said, "let's race across the school Yard!" We got out the car and he took off running! I decided that I instead would jog. I began jogging a steady pace with my eyes closed. I wanted to savor the moment and worship the Lord as I sang a worship song to Him at the top of my voice! (I believe the song that i sang was, "there's a God who sees"?) I continued jogging and worshiping with my eyes shut tight, no fear of stumbling nor if anyone was around to hear! I could feel the powerful presence of the Lord as I worshiped! I opened my eyes as I approached a muddy path next to the school. The little boy appeared a short distance in front of me and motioned to me saying,"over this way"! I could feel he was smiling a pleasant humorous smile because he beat me to the other side! He motioned for me to follow him and guided me back on the path and away from the mud. The area we were approaching was very familiar to me from my childhood and the little boy guided me around the mud so that my shoes wouldn't get dirty. Then we both looked down a hill towards my childhood community and I explained to him "that's where i grew up at". I said, "see that house with the construction going on, just behind the trees? that's where I grew up at". I felt proud that the house was undergoing construction. i felt like i owned it! The construction was foundational repair being done. The house looked bigger and sturdier than when I knew it as a child. I could see the construction wood frame being built around the walls of mom's room. Excited to be here, I then turned and pointed towards the playground area of my old elementary school and said, "this used to be full of children playing". As we looked we saw a deep slope where the kids used to play but, i remembered it being leveled and full of life. We then turned back towards my childhood community and proceeded down a short hill to enter into it. As I approached my childhood home, I looked to my left and saw my cousin Marsha sitting at a computer desk. She was diligently working and hadn't noticed I'd arrived. I tapped her on her shoulder and hugged her. She said with a sigh of relief, "thank God you're here"! I then noticed a room to our right. I looked into the room door and it was filled with little children! They were watching TV together? When they saw me peek into the room smiling, they jumped up and began running out in excitement! One of them was a beautiful little girl with pretty well kept braided hair. At first I thought it was my younger sister Nya. She ran up to me and straight into my arms happy to see me! i picked her up, held her tight and kissed her forehead and hair! Then, I realized that she looked like Emma between the ages of 3 to 5 years old! Then I woke up!
