DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.

RATS and MICE : Rats and mice are traditionally linked to poverty. In dreams that portrays both material poverty and spiritual poverty. If you felt especially poor the day before then that could easily have triggered the dream. Maybe you were embarassed about being untidy(this triggered one rat dream in our study). If you are realizing that you are in a rut and unmotivated then that would suggest that you are in poor circumstances in a spiritual sense (several dreams in our studies were linked to such a meaning).

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Were you thinking how poor someone has become?
- Have you been in a spiritual rut recently
- Do you feel as if you or someone else has been lacking in motivation recently

KEY WORDS :unmotivated, untidy, in a rut,not coping,dirty, poor

KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of mice and rats in dreams?

Often rats and mice are associated with poverty and poor circumstances E.g.

"I felt embarassed at the mess in my home. My friend was really uncomfortable"[Dream Dictionary - Rat infested home]

Rats and mice can be associated with a lack of motivation in your life - a lack of spirtual nourishment E.g.
"I have been trying to make my life better by cutting out all my bad habits. Yet yestrerday I just laid there in front of the telly. Its like I have a weird attachment to the rubbish life I am leading"[Dream Dictionary - Poor Little boy with pet mouse][Dream Dictionary - the full dream on which this quote is based is featured at the end of this article]

SAMPLE DREAM : Dreams generally link to some real issue of relevance to you right now. They may capture your feelings on some health issue, work problem , relationship in difficulty , your feelings about how things are generally going, your plans for the day ahead or some simple paranoia or fear. The dreams featured in this website will try to reduce the dreams meaning to a quote which captures your current feelings on some issue. When studying your own dreams try to think what quotes could capture your own feelings on pressing issues. Think especially of the day before the dream and your thoughts about the day to come.
-----------------------
THE DREAM There is a small boy in medieval times. He is looking for his pet mouse. He is extremely attached to it.

THE REALITY The night before the dreamer was feeling highly motivated towards improving his life. He wanted to clear all the bad habits out. Yet in the end he just laid in front of the TV all night. He felt to himself that he had some weird attachment to poor living. That he was stuck in a spiritual rut .

DREAM ANALYSIS When you first look at a dream try to link it in anyway possible with real life thoughts and intuitions from the previous day. Make loose associations. If these fit in any way then try to build up the dreams meanings by making more associations and connections between life and dream symbols. In this case the main intuition from the previous day linked to the dreamers attempts to motivate himself. By the time the end of the day came he felt disgusted with himself. He admitted that he had some weird attachment to poor cirumstances. He was content to just stay in the rut.

Rats and ice can link to spiritual and material poverty. In this case the dream also uses a symbol of particular relevance. The pet mouse symbolizes how the dreamer had a weird attachment to his poor life. He seemed unwilling to change.

The little boy in the dream probably symbolizes the dreamers own immaturity. An inability to take true responsibility for his life. His tendency to drift through and accept bad circumstances.

Symbolic Meanings
LITTLE BOY : "The dreamer is immature. He is unwilling to take responsibility for his life. Content to just drift through life."
PET RAT : "The dreamer feels attached to his poor circumstances "

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I was really highly motivated last night. I wanted to eliminate all my bad habits. But its all talk I just laid there in front of the TV. I seem attached to my poor circumstances and lack of motivation"
