Rat or mouse
Small worries, multiplying
What it often means
Rats and mice in dreams symbolise small fears, anxieties, or guilts that have been quietly multiplying in the corners. They are not signals of failure but invitations to clear the cellar.
When it tends to appear
- When small unaddressed worries have built up
- During seasons of low-grade anxiety
- When something tiny but persistent is asking attention
