What Does Mouse Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a mouse means a small problem you have been ignoring. It is growing.
A mouse is no threat on its own; a house full of them is another matter. Dreams use it for worries that are individually trivial and collectively wearing.
Number sets the scale: one mouse is a minor unease, many mean an accumulation that has got past you.
Where does the mouse appear in the dream?
If another symbol sits beside it
- Cat
- Mouse with a cat: the solution is already nearby.
- House
- Mouse with a house: the irritation concerns home or family.
