Dreaming of Mice

mice, rats, rodents · mostly negative, with some happy readings

Mice mostly foretell domestic trouble and insincere friends, though one tradition sees prosperity and love in them.

What happens in the dream

  • Killing mice: you will defeat your enemies
  • In another tradition: prosperity, success in love and a happy marriage, or a child soon
  • Letting them escape: struggles with an uncertain outcome
  • Mice: domestic troubles, insincere friends and discouraging business
  • If you are single: secret enemies and deception; a mouse in your clothes means a scandal

How you felt

  • Worry: the dream often reflects small troubles nibbling at your peace
  • Suspicion: it may express a sense that something is going on behind your back

Ask yourself

  • Which small worries are gnawing at my peace?
