Raccoon
A raccoon — masked, clever, nocturnal — often touches being deceived by the friendly appearance of enemies. The dream may ask who is approaching you behind an appealing, disarming face, and whether you can see past the mask to the cunning beneath it, since the danger here is precisely that the threat looks so agreeable and harmless.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for raccoon, 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 a raccoon, denotes you are being deceived by the friendly appearance of enemies.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of simply treeing a raccoon, is a good omen, for you will probably either gain a sum of money, or have it left to you as a legacy: if you imagine that you shoot the animal, and he falls to the ground, this will spoil the luck.
