Efua NyansaKilling a rat means you are driving out a harm that has been working in the shadows of your house. This dream shows that a betrayal has been nibbling at the bonds between your people, leaving holes where there should be strength. When a person acts to stop such a betrayal, they are refusing to let a sickness grow in the heart of the gathering.
The way you handle this clearing determines how the peace returns to those you love. If the work is done with strength, the corruption is lifted so that the household may breathe again. You find that by facing what is hidden, you protect the foundation that the elders laid for you. May the light return to your hearth and the paths of your people be made straight.
The scale of the task changes how much of the old rot you are removing. When you are killing rats or killing a big rat, the dream shows that the corruption has been deep and widespread, requiring a great effort to restore the order of the home. Even killing two rats tells you that the deceit was not a single shadow but a presence that has taken root in more than one place.
A struggle with the task brings a different weight to the verdict. Whether you are hitting a rat or trying to kill a rat, the dream shows that the harm is not yet gone and the betrayal still lingers. If you find yourself with rats being killed, the dream shows that the deceit has been uncovered and the enemy is overcome, leaving a stillness where the treachery once lived.
The way the harm is handled shifts the meaning entirely when you see a cat killing a rat. In this dream, a person who knows how to move through the world with a sharp wit is the one who settles the matter of the betrayal.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a rat
