Dreaming of a Rat Trap

rat, rodent · mixed

Falling into a rat trap points to being robbed, but an empty, broken or self- set trap is a good sign.

What happens in the dream

  • You set a trap: you'll learn of enemies' plans in time to outwit them
  • A broken trap: you'll be rid of unpleasant company
  • You fall into a rat trap: you will be tricked and robbed of something valuable
  • An empty trap: no slander or competition

How you felt

  • Feeling trapped: the dream often reflects a situation where you feel cornered
  • Vigilance: perhaps a wish to protect yourself from a threat

Ask yourself

  • What trap am I afraid of falling into?
  • Do I feel trapped right now?
