Shrew
A shrew — sharp-tongued and hard to please — often touches the task of keeping a difficult friend cheerful, unfitting you for everyday life. The dream may ask where managing someone's prickly temper is draining you, and whether the energy you pour into keeping a hard person content is leaving you too worn for your own affairs.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for shrew, 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 shrew, foretells that you will have a task to keep some friend in a cheerful frame of mind, and that you will unfit yourself for the experiences of everyday existence.
