Rat
This may be that you sense something sick or negative, so can depict your fears or anxieties, frightening instincts or urges, physical sickness or anxieties about health. Perhaps also feelings of sexual repulsion or using sex to gain material aims.
One can be a rat, or smell a rat, or rat on someone. Underhand activities carried out without admitting the real motives, such as sex without love, or for material gain. Is also said to represent time gnawing away unknown at our life, and we may turn to find it empty. The rat can also depict what we most hate or feel repulsion toward.
Sometimes a rat in your dream can remind you of love that was betrayed, or intuitions about a person being a ‘rat’ – doing things behind your back or underhandedly – or deserting a relationship or situation when difficulties arise.
The rats can point to threatening things going on that you are not clear about, or a view of the underhanded side of yourself or others – the evil side of human nature, its dirt and squalor, or time gnawing away at your life. It can point to the unacceptable parts or yourself.
In some dreams the rat has the character of most rodents, the gnawing inquisitive searching out of things. It can therefore relate to your anxieties, self questioning and worrying mind that disturbs or eats away at things like peace of mind or confidence.
Pet rat: A pet rat can have quite different meaning, and can denote vulnerability, instinctive intelligence, the caring feelings or drive to care; responsibility for caring. As with any animal it might be illustrating your instincts and basic responses to events.
Idioms: Rat on someone; rat race; smell a rat; feeling ratty; cornered rat; rats leave a sinking ship.
Useful questions are:
Am I confronting or remembering something that I feel is repulsive or evil?
Am I in a relationship that I intuitively feel difficulties about?
Am I being a rat in a relationship or situation?
Is a worry or irritation eating away at me?

What do you think this dream means? I was in a house that was mine but unrecognizable in real life. I saw things on the back porch that were pretty to look at, and my Dad was there removing a dead plant from a pot that was outside.
Suddenly, I see a big dead rat lying on top of a bucket of plastic things (maybe toys?) inside the house. I was terrified, repulsed, horrified. I asked my Dad to remove it. He agreed, but didn’t do it right away so the horror stayed.
When he did remove it, he carried the corpse across the room and it leaked wet on me. I was terrified, especially when the drippings went on me, but in the end felt relieved it was going away.
Hey Tony. (: could you provide some insight into my dreams? I specifically keep having ones about pet rats, at least once a week. there’s always more than one, and sometimes I’m surrounded by them. I’m either looking for them, or they’re overflowing in my arms and I’m trying to carry them all. I’m not afraid of rats, I used to own 2 of the rodents and was rather fond of them. Thanks.
Shona – I am not sure why I feel this, but I think your dream is about caring for small vulnerable thighs, like babies. If I am right, and you are carrying and caring for such a rich harvest of Life, then your recurring dream may stop. If not let me know what the next dream is.

Recent dreams… I’m walking into a nice,clean home- rats, or cat- like animals appear. I don’t seem afraid, but know they must go. One dream, the rat actualy lightly biting my fingers. I wake not feeling afraid. One dreams continues… My husband & I either own or are fixing a nice, clean home… Rats & now small black snacks appear. We try to collect them in black trash bags, but they escape. Again the dream is not scary – I think due to the feeling of the home being “nice,clean & put together”. Your thoughts.
I had a dream that I was in a room full of rats but they were clean rats not dirty and I wasn’t grossed out by them in any way and I also had a dream about a past love of mine first I was seeing him in person they slow he became a picture. What can this mean?
Both were in the same dream
I had a dream that is bothering me a lot. In my dream there is the old barn. The barn s full of large rats. I hate rats so I get the red can of gas and the next steps the barn is burnt to the ground no ashes at all, and mt daddy, who is deceased, is yelling at me for burning the barn down. My mama, also deceased is in dream but does not speak. All I remember is waking up thinking that I did not have matches to start the fire. This dream has me scared.
