Rat in Dreams

Dreaming of rats is a process of developing survival skills and street smarts. You will earn the reputation of being sneaky and untrustworthy. To be labeled a rat, serious trouble will follow as no one is on your side. Start rethinking of how to manage the negative image, and success will follow.

Rats in the dream represent fear, anxiety and self-doubt. They also signify feelings of being threatened by people or institutions that you feel powerless against. It may also indicate feelings of loneliness, abandonment and isolation.

An example of seeing rats in a dream can be that the person is unable to leave any place at all due to fear which is symbolized by rodents. It may also signify that the other person is not worthy. Scenarios involving rats in a dream are where one sees them carrying off food, or sees them entering one’s house, or sees an infestation of rats.

If you dream about rats, it may signify plague or disease. Rats are associated with the underworld and all that is negative. You need to take this as a warning to be careful because some harm is probably going to come your way.

  2. My dream was about returning to my home that I hadn’t inhabited for a while – I had sheets covering my furniture and such. So it was in need of attention.
    I walk in the livingroom and a plethora of palest gray almost white colored Rats were on the big pieces of furniture. Different sizes, and even babies being born on these pieces of big furniture. I also didn’t see them on the floor or inside the walls, roof or anywhere else. I wasn’t afraid/startled or have any feeling of negativity – like repulsion, just surprised to see a lot of them. Some mature Rats had green colored tails and were healthy looking almost fat. Some had no tails – and the tails were just laying there on the sheets.
    They never attacked me or looked at me. I just seen that they were thriving and multiplying despite there was no food source close by or logical reason why they looked as they did.

  3. was dreaming and I stepped on a rat, it began to chase me and it was black. I got the sense that it was not trying to hurt but I ran from since I am not a fan of rats. From what I have read its not a bad thing but a interesting future lays a head of me. what do you all think?

  5. I dreamt I was lying in my bottom bunk bed. There were people in the distance talking but I don’t know who. This gray rat all of a sudden came running on me and I couldn’t move I thought it would leave but it came back then turned to run again and the third time it ran all the way in my blanket and onto my neck where I then almost yelled aloud but instead woke up completely terrified .
