Beaver
The beaver is the tireless builder, and in dreams it often marks comfortable circumstances won by patient striving — security raised log by log. To kill one for its fur cuts against that. The dream tends to touch industrious persistence, and to ask what we are steadily building, and whether we honour the work.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for beaver, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing beavers, foretells that you will obtain comfortable circumstances by patient striving. If you dream of killing them for their skins, you will be accused of fraud and improper conduct toward the innocent.
