Killing a rat shows the driving out of an insidious harm that has been nibbling at the edges of your peace. This dream shows a movement toward clearing away the small, hidden hurts that weaken your spirit.
The work of the dream is a cleansing of the house of your life. You are facing a treachery that has lived in the shadows, and you are deciding that it no longer has a place to rest. Well, you know how a small thing can grow if it is not dealt with, and this dream is the moment the dealing begins. I have sat at my own table and felt the weight of a small lie that needed to be swept away. You are finding your footing against a wrong, and the air feels lighter for it.
When you are killing several rats, or even a big rat, the dream shows a much broader clearing out of corruption. The dream means the trouble you face is widespread and needs a thorough sweeping to be truly gone.
The effort of hitting a rat or trying to kill a rat speaks to the struggle of the process. It shows that removing a betrayal is rarely a single, easy motion, but a series of attempts to pin down something that wants to slip away.
A cat killing a rat brings a sharp-witted friend into the dream to do the work for you. This means someone with a keen eye is helping you catch a lie before it can do any more damage.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a rat
Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
