Let's take a closer look at the guest of your dream
Remember what the rat looked like. If it is gray in color and large in size, then most likely it symbolizes an ill-wisher. The larger the rat, the more serious and dangerous your opponent. The length of a rat's tail signifies the amount of trouble this person can cause you. A long tail can also mean an imminent illness.
If a rat has long and fluffy fur, then the ill-wisher is among the people close to you. If a rat has long and sharp teeth, then they may be trying to intimidate you.
And if in a dream a rat impresses you as the sweetest creature, then do not rush to assume that the dream does not portend anything dangerous. Most likely, you will face betrayal from the person you trusted.
General interpretation
It is believed that if such a night vision visited a man, it promises him unexpected wealth. A large number of gray rodents indicates that the amount received will be large. Feeling an animal bite means betrayal by someone close to you.
For women, a picture of a gray rat portends family problems. A betrayal of a spouse or a quarrel with someone close is possible. This promises the girl a good mother-in-law in the future. If the animal is large, then the relationship will be like family.
According to dream books, a gray rat symbolizes a dangerous, but outwardly attractive enemy. The role of the enemy can be either a woman of noble birth or an unremarkable elderly lady. The dreamer should be careful, because this person is trying to harm him and is an enemy.
Timeliness of sleep
If you had a dream before an important event , then it is worth thinking about those for whom this event may be undesirable and who would like it not to happen.
If you dream of a rat after the beginning or in the midst of a romantic relationship , you have a rival or rival.
A dream involving a rat could mean betrayal or an enemy who will reveal itself to you in the near future.
Sometimes seeing a rat in a dream means looking at yourself differently . In rare cases, a rat comes in a dream to people who are dissatisfied with themselves, engaged in soul-searching, or who have committed a bad act.

Interpretation of dreams in different dream books
First, let's find out what it means to dream with a rat in different dream books.
Ancient Slavic dream book of Veles
In this dream book, the appearance of a rodent in a dream is not regarded very well. In ancient times, this meant crop failure and other misfortunes.
For a young woman, such a dream symbolizes a possible meeting with a rival.
If a man had such a dream, then this is a signal that he needs to be extra careful. Here are some more interpretations:
- Rats in the house - to quarrel, betrayal and conflicts.
- If rodents eat grain in the barn, then this means a crop failure.
- If it bites until it bleeds, it means a quarrel with relatives.
- An attacking rodent from the back means intrigue and gossip.
- To beat her is a desire to resist injustice.
- The redhead is a warning that someone is spreading gossip.
- Seeing a fat individual and killing it means great luck, maintaining good relationships in the house and overcoming difficulties.
- Catching by the tail means revealing the plans of ill-wishers.
Vanga's interpretation
In this interpretation, an unpleasant rodent portends a quarrel and negativity in communication. If in a dream you start beating a rat, this means that the negotiations will go well. The dream has the following meanings:
- If a rodent rules the house, then this is a warning about a bad person in the environment.
- Hand feeding is also not a good sign.
- If you beat a rat, then this is a sign of victory over the enemy.
- For young people it can mean a rival.
Unusual interpretations of Freud
According to the interpretations of this German psychiatrist, the rodent is a symbol of base feelings and sensations.
The rat is also a sign of strong curiosity. It is worth noting the following interpretations:
- A lot of running rats in a dream indicate an unfavorable situation.
- A kind rodent in a cage for extraordinary acquaintances.
- Beating is a symbol of sexual intercourse.
Miller's meaning
For psychoanalyst Miller, such a dream also has a negative meaning.
This may be a sign of betrayal and meanness:
- A gray rat dreams of strong disputes with neighbors.
- Catching by the tail means dislike of the surrounding meanness.
- If he eats dinner from your plate, then this warns of a friend’s hypocrisy.
- Running mice or rats are bad company.
- Sleeping animals are a sign that you will see the real appearance of imaginary friends.
Dead rat
The best outcome of the dream is to kill the rat . Such a dream means victory over your enemy or the end of a long conflict. A dream in which you see the corpse of a rat has a completely different interpretation. This may mean the inevitability of bad events that cannot be avoided.
You have to be prepared for the fact that you will have to be strong, endure, wait out. It is possible that for some time you will have to abandon your pre-planned goal, since it will not be to your benefit or even to your detriment.
Interpretation of a dream about a gray rat according to dream books
The dream book is different: as many famous personalities have interpreted it, so many opinions surround similar scenes and situations. Let's consider the most authoritative collections of interpretations.
Vanga's Dream Book
The soothsayer paid great attention to the circumstances under which a person saw a rat, because this animal both brings good luck and warns of trouble.
- For example, feeding a gray animal means acting prudently and trying to solve problems not rashly, but thoughtfully.
- To kill a tailed weasel is to make the right decision on some problem without hesitation.
- Setting a mousetrap and seeing the animal escape is a possibility of deception by a hidden enemy masquerading as a benevolent person.
Miller's Dream Book
- Did rats run into your dozing head? Miller believes that you... will be beaten by your neighbors. Or they will simply be cleverly fooled by neighbors or colleagues.
- Did you catch and kill the animal? Expect victory over your ill-wisher.
- If you grab a rodent by the tail, teach your enemy a lesson and come out of the conflict with dignity.
Dream Interpretation of Nostradamus
The fantasy of this predictor is very rich: he paid a lot of attention to the section about dreaming rats:
- If you see a sea of pests gnawing on your crops, call pest control experts into your home or think about how to quickly deal with them yourself: real supplies or useful plants may be spoiled.
- Walking down the street and seeing people's rat tails hanging down? Take care of your safety and healthy lifestyle: an unusual illness may lie ahead.
Let's celebrate! According to Nostradamus, the rat is a collective image of a picky, demanding person. It is also a symbol of unexpected disasters.
Freud's Dream Book
The father of psychoanalysis also did not ignore rodents, saying that they indicate a manifestation of sexual aggression. Perhaps the day before you were thinking about how to entertain yourself and your partner with unusual sexual practices or imagined what it would be like to have group sex.
If you have never found yourself in bed with someone, gray rats will tell you about the fear of intimate relationships and numerous complexes that you need to understand and work through for a happy relationship with your partner.
Gray rats are animals associated with negativity. Don’t worry if you only dreamed of them once: just be attentive to suggestions from other people. And consider the option of inviting a pest control team home: it is possible that a pest caught your eye during the day and you urgently need to get rid of it.
Note! If the dream repeats more than once, and in the morning you open your eyes, feeling overwhelmed, undergo a medical examination: painful night visions are a sign of hidden disorder in the body.
Miller's Dream Book
According to Miller’s dream book, seeing a rat in a dream means that your neighbors, companions, or someone from your environment will want to deal with you. In this case, physical violence can also be added to the reprisal.
If you grab a rat in a dream, it will mean your spiritual elevation over your enemy. You reject slander, violence and any human baseness. You will not humiliate yourself, even for the sake of the opportunity to win. The Rat can also mean that you are being deceived or taken advantage of.
White rat
At first glance, a white rat in a dream should not have negative interpretations, but even here there is a fly in the ointment. There are a lot of interpretations on this topic, but dream books offer two main outcomes for the development of situations. The white animal symbolizes the female enemy. Perhaps your best friend, who has smiled and flattered you all these years, but at any opportunity will gladly stick a knife in your back.
This dream is also interpreted as a warning sign.
You feel something is wrong around you. At work, among friends, relatives. They use you, flatter you, and intrigue behind your back. You may be wrong, and this is even more depressing. There is a feeling, but no evidence. You are forced to endure and be a hypocrite in response, pretending that everything is fine. Don’t trust anyone, don’t let them deceive you, double-check and clarify any information. Someone is trying to take your place. Don't talk about your personal life and plans for the future.
Negative interpretations:
- ill-wishers will make you an outcast;
- physical violence against you by neighbors or someone’s relatives;
- a competitor at work, or a rival in your personal life.
Dream books, based on the various nuances of dreams, also offer positive meanings. The white rat symbolizes inner strength, purity and the ability to adapt to change without harming oneself. If you saw a white rat in your dream, this is a positive omen indicating that you are on the right path. Don’t be afraid to implement plans and projects, move forward and get the expected result. The white rodent can symbolize overcoming difficult times: you will go through difficult situations and come out victorious.
Tsvetkov's Dream Interpretation
According to the famous esotericist Tsvetkov, a rat can dream of long-term sorrows and tears . But the reasons for tears may be different for everyone, depending on the other circumstances of the dream. Killing a rat in a dream means winning, achieving success in business.
The significance of what has been achieved can be determined by the size of the animal. If the rat is small, then the event that awaits you will be a pleasant small victory. But if the killed rat turns out to be large, then your success will be great.
Human actions
Most dream interpreters identify the rat with ill-wishers or with relatives who cause a lot of trouble and trouble. Manipulation with an animal can mean the following:
- Killing a rodent in a dream suggests that in real life the sleeping person will be able to overcome any adversity. A similar night plot also characterizes the dreamer as a person extremely intolerant of the weaknesses of others. It is not easy for him to communicate with hypocrites and vile people.
- In a dream, feeding a rat from your hand means success awaits you. Thanks to the determination and courage of the sleeper, the goal will be easily achieved.
- If you happened to pet an animal in a dream, and it suddenly attacked, then this is a warning sign. The sleeper may get stabbed in the back by a trusted person.
- Running from a flock of gray rats means immediate trouble. The dreamer will be blamed for the failed event.
- Scaring away an animal in your night dreams is a sign of extraordinary events that can radically change the life of the sleeper.
- Watching a motionless animal in a dream indicates a lurking enemy who is waiting for the right moment to attack.
