Mouse
A mouse in dream often speaks to what feels small yet persistent—a worry that nibbles at the edges, a problem that seems minor but won't leave you alone. Perhaps the dream asks what tiny irritation you've been ignoring, or whether something you've dismissed as harmless deserves closer attention.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mouse, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a woman to dream of a mouse, denotes that she will have an enemy who will annoy her by artfulness and treachery.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of killing a mouse is a sign you will detect a thief in stealing from you: if, in your dream, you see a mouse, or a number of mice, it foretells that you will soon have thieves in the house. For a girl to dream that she pets a mouse, shows that she will have a light-fingered or dishonest lover.
