Mouse-trap
A mouse-trap — set to catch the small intruder — often touches the need to guard your character against those who have designs on you. The dream may ask who is laying a snare for you, and whether you can see the bait for what it is, or even set a clever trap of your own to outmaneuver an opponent.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mouse-trap, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a mouse-trap in dreams, signifies your need to be careful of character, as wary persons have designs upon you.
To see it full of mice, you will likely fall into the hands of enemies.
To set a trap, you will artfully devise means to overcome your opponents.
