Mouse in a dream
A mouse in a dream is read as a small worry or a minor nuisance that should not spoil your mood.
In folk belief, the mouse stands for the little things that nibble at your peace: small worries, forgotten chores or somebody's teasing. Old dream books add that a mouse can also mean modesty and resourcefulness. If it startled you in the dream, it is believed you are giving something small too much importance. The dream is really encouraging you to see things in their true size.
