So, there was a lot more to this dream but the part that stood out was that I was on vacation and walking through a large area/structure like a shopping mall (a maze? lol) and carrying a cup of coffee. I took a sip of it as I was walking and thought there was something off about it but I wasn't sure what... I looked down and saw something bob to the top and slowly an entire rat floated up to the surface. At first I was sure it was dead and I was horrified that I had drank something with a dead rat in it.
But then the rat began to move and I realized that it was alive and I was so grateful. I'm not sure if I was grateful about this was because drinking live rat is better than drinking dead rat (ew) but I must admit I do love rats. I consider them incredibly intelligent and I think they're cute as well. I should add that the rat sat in front of me and his fur instantly dried. No clue what that means if anything.
I honestly didn't even know where to begin in interpreting this dream so I found an article on The Huff Post and a dream expert was talking about rats in dreams and to find a dead rat, it can mean that a relationship is over.
Interestingly, I have been having a frustrating week in regards to a relationship that has never really gotten off the ground (after almost 4 years!) It has never lead to anything serious and has never been erm...consumated, much to my chagrin. If it's not meant to be then that's fine but this guy just pops in and out of my life and he does not want a committed relationship, he does not want an intimate
encounter and he doesn't want to be friends either and it's been very confusing for me.
I've gotten to the point now where I think he's either screwing with me or else he's scared or just not interested enough - his behaviour is all over the map and I'm usually good at sussing this stuff out - but then why keep in touch for years?
In any case, since it's what's been bugging me all week and I tried to make it clear to him that I am done with all of it, I initially thought that the dream of the dead rat meant it was over. But upon reflection it turns out that the rat wasn't actually dead.
So I have no clue if these things are connected, but I don't like most of the dream interps for rats since they are so negative and I love rats. But I also find the dream very odd, even by my standards. Things happened in order, for one thing, and I recall colour which I usually do not. And then just the symbolism of drinking a dead/alive rat..... Weird, no?
Any other thoughts about this would be helpful. I am determined not to get sucked back in to this ridiculous and pointless cycle with this guy, but does this mean it's not actually over perhaps? The fact that it's Mercury Rx when all this went down is making me wonder. Plus in our charts we have quite a bit of karma.
Thanks in advance. If no one responds, I understand - it's a seriously weird dream.
