Rhinoceros
A rhinoceros — armoured, massive, formidable — often touches a great loss threatening you and secret troubles, with obstacles bravely overcome if you kill one. The dream may ask where a heavy, thick-skinned danger is bearing down on you, and whether you can summon the courage to face it before hidden troubles wear you down.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for rhinoceros, 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 that you see a rhinoceros, foretells you will have a great loss threatening you, and that you will have secret troubles. To kill one, shows that you will bravely overcome obstacles.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of this East India animal, denotes success to the man of business, but disappointment in love matters; but to dream they injure you, is unfavorable to the dreamer. If you dream you see one dead, you'll soon leave a relative.
