Rodent dream meaning is explained below using 8 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — myjellybean

Dreams about rodents foretells trouble through active but hidden jealousy.

The exception is if the rodent was white - that means you will be protected by friendly forces.

If you heard rodents gnawing but didn’t actually see them, the dream is a warning that you are wasting your time in meaningless pursuits.

Interpretation 2 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver

Gophers, rats, mice, and the like are a constant source of irritation and often spread disease, thus requiring extermination. Rodents in a dream may represent issues that are pestering the dreamer and perhaps confounding the dreamer as to how to dispose of them. (See also Mouse, Rat).
