To see a mouse in your dream typically means that you are feeling insignificant in your life. Internally, you are holding onto a sense of fear and submissiveness. There is an ALPHA that is overpowering you and you want to run and hide.
There are many reasons why people dream about mice. One of the more common ones is dreaming that a mouse has been found on your property and you can’t get rid of it. This could be because mice have an association with the idea of being dirty or messy, therefore dreaming about them means you need to clean up certain aspects of your life- such as relationships or work habits.
Other possible explanations for dreaming about mice include:
- dreaming that a mouse has eaten through something important in your house
- dreaming that there is a rodent infestation
- or dreaming about living under poor conditions like those seen in poverty-stricken third world countries where rats and other rodents may be commonplace.
When dreaming of mice, one gets a sense of sneakiness and shadows. You don’t want to be seen in the light. You are avoiding big problems. You are stepping away from your day-to-day in an attempt to stay safe, but at what cost?
Let’s go through some questions and try to break down what is happening in your current state:
- What are you afraid of right now?
- Are you being bullied?
- Do you feel insignificant or ashamed?
- What are you running from?
- What are you hiding from?
- Who are you irritated with?
You are the mouse. This much is clear. There may be many reasons why this animal is manifesting itself in your thoughts. Mice and rats could represent a number of things and truthfully, they aren’t ALL negative. Let’s try to break down each scenario.
Remember, with dreams, it’s all about the scenario you are in. What is the mice/rat doing? Are you holding it? Chasing it? What COLOR is the mice? It all matters when it comes to dream analysis.

Rats or mice in dreams typically indicate pending danger. There might even be a sign that a mistake will be made. Consider them a fair warning.
When we see mice in real life, we are on HIGH ALERT. We need to fix things! Our house has holes. Our house needs attention. Even if we see one running away, it still needs to be addressed.
We need to call in the experts or go to the store and bring in supplies and handle things on our own. Either way, mice get our full attention.
This is very much the case when we are discussing messages from our spirit guides. If you see a mouse, then you should listen. This dream represents an alert! The good news is that action can be taken to avoid any further issues.
Do you feel that someone very close to you is acting differently? In your heart, do you feel warned or threatened? Uncomfortable? Uneasy? That mouse in your dream could be telling you to watch out for that person.

Mice are a symbol of fertility, sexuality, and rebirth; therefore dreaming about mice can be a sign that you may not be living the lifestyle that is right for you. Mice also symbolize fear and anxiety, so dreaming about them means you might have trouble coping with everyday life. When dreaming about mice it’s important to consider what your subconscious mind is trying to tell you in relation to how well balanced your moods are in real-life situations.
In order to understand what dreaming of mice has to offer, it’s very important to understand why we dream at all. The reason why dreaming exists is that dreaming allows us to work through our issues without having any real consequences on our daily lives that could be harmful or unpleasant. If dreaming was not possible, we would perhaps be driven to the point of insanity with all of our daily concerns and issues. Dreaming allows us the opportunity to let go and free-up mental energy that might otherwise be destructive if consumed by more negative thinking in our waking lives. That said, dreaming is a positive function of human life; dreaming can help people learn about themselves, find solutions for their problems, and come to terms with undesired aspects of their lives that they know need improvement but are currently unable to change.

You may also just feel like someone has taken advantage of you and this dream is letting you know it. That said, dreaming of mice could be a metaphor representing something else, dreaming about mice is usually some sort of metaphor that represents something else
- dreaming that there is a rodent infestation could mean you are living in an unhealthy environment and should make changes for your own sake or the sake of others. Mice can symbolize sickness or disease; dreaming about them might be telling you to get your act together or miss out on opportunities.
