Case Study

Dream narrative: Last night, a rat entered my bedroom. I couldn’t shoo it away, so I hit it with a shoe. It bled but didn’t die, then tried climbing onto me as if to bite. Enraged, I threw it down and stomped it dead.

Analysis: The rat likely represents a lingering issue—personal or professional. Key takeaways:

• A rat in your bedroom signals trouble.
• Failing to chase it away means prolonged unresolved stress.
• Its survival after hitting suggests failed solutions.
• The attempted bite warns of escalating conflicts (if it’s a person) or career hurdles.
• Killing it finally implies you’ll find a solution.

Advice: Identify persistent troubles in your life. Seek help early—don’t let frustration consume you.
