For some, cause for disgust and dread. For others, a friendly and misunderstood animal. The fact is that, regardless of your position on it, dreaming of the rat usually has a negative meaning to the dreamer’s life. Rats are animals commonly associated with dirt, the spread of disease, and stealth, which run away leaving a real mess behind.
As you well know, the rat is not characterized by being an accepted animal in our society, for this reason, dreaming of rats is a very unpleasant or even repulsive dream and much more unpleasant even if these dreams are repeated very commonly in our head during our nights.
Understanding in this way that this typology of dreams, we could say that they are characterized by being repulsive or can even scare us, that is why we would characterize rats in dreams as nightmares or unpleasant dreams since as a general rule this type of animals in dreams may be a warning or indicating different evils.
The ills that rats predict always affect our health or it can also be the case that it affects the health of our closest family and those closest to us. Generally, this dream is usually the beginning of an infection or an infectious process that we may suffer in the not too distant future, following an overwhelming logic, since rats are known to be carriers of many infections or serious lung diseases such as hantavirus.
You should know that this typology of dreams may want to show or indicate problems in our family, with our friends, problems between the community of neighbors, and colleagues, etc.
If you are a person who develops in the political or business sphere, you should be very careful, because it can be a sign of betrayal, especially by those people who are very helpful and willing to collaborate with you.
Spiritual Meaning of Rats in a Dream
When your presence is not tied to bad omens, the little rodent may be wanting to warn you about attitudes and people who are part of your daily life - and who are harming you.
The rodent represents greed, guilt, envy, and doubt. Often this sense of dreaming happens when there are within you some past thoughts or acts that you are not proud of, or are just ashamed to assume. The mice appears, in this case, to warn you that something is gnawing at you from the inside.
Another mice appearance may indicate attention to “friends” and people who are suddenly worrying about you. This representation occurs when the animal causes repulsion in the dream or appears amid the dirt. So if the rodent appeared to you, you don’t need to wake up scared - just watch out. After all, he has a lot to tell you.
The following are some of the most common possibilities where the rodent usually arises in the subconscious. Through these symbols, it is up to you to contextualize them to your reality and then find the perfect meaning.
When you find yourself chasing a rat in the dream, but it manages to escape, it means that the problems will continue to exist, but under the power of it. However, if you dream that you manage to kill the rat during sleep, this means the end of all problems.
- When a woman dreams of rats, it means that she suspects enemies who want to harm her, for example, witchcraft.
- If you are a young boy and you dream of rats, it means that you have enemies who speak ill of you behind your back.

Dreaming about a white mice:
Used for scientific experiments or adopted as pets, white mice, while friendly and harmless, still represent the need for care for those around them.

Dreaming about a black mice:
The black mice appears again with the meaning of attention. Dreaming about him means that soon you have to go through some difficult times in your life. These moments will be marked by emotions and feelings that can be affected through embarrassment and disappointment.

Not as serious as the black mice, dreaming of the gray mice is related to a difficult but temporary phase - which can be either the end of a love relationship or a friendship.
