Dream symbol · R
Rat
A sign of betrayal, hidden guilt, or the presence of 'parasites' in your life.
Dream interpretation
Rats are often associated with dishonesty and fear. Dreaming of them can be a warning about someone in your circle who is acting meanly behind your back. If the rat gnaws at you, these are your own gnawing thoughts and remorse. In psychology, they symbolize unwanted aspects of the personality hiding in the subconscious (the basement). If you manage to drive the rats away, you will clear your life of everything rotten. Be vigilant about whom you trust.
