Rat

General Meaning: Ambiguous
Dreaming of a rat has an ambiguous meaning. It could mean good things, positive outcomes or sickness. In Europe rats carried the great plagues that occurred throughout centuries, and are deemed a bad omen to many. However, in the Chinese culture, rats are bright and industrious. When the Chinese zodiac was being charted, legend has it that the rat was the first to show up to gain position. And so the Year of the Rat is the first of the 12 animal cycles and proves to be industrious to those born in that year. So, in this way, dreaming of a rat is ambiguous, and other determinants need to be made in order to discern your dream.
