Rat
Rats in dreams carry complex symbolism. On one hand, they represent incredible survival skills, adaptability, and resourcefulness. On the other hand, they can symbolize betrayal, disease, and things that gnaw away at you. In Chinese culture, the rat is the first zodiac animal and represents cleverness and wealth. A rat in your house may indicate something is eroding your sense of security from within.
