Badger

The badger is dogged and hard to drive off, and in dreams it often signals luck that comes only after a real battle with hardship. The dream tends to ask what we are persisting against, and to suggest that the good we are after lies on the far side of a fight we will have to see through.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
