Squirrel
Squirrels often carry the warmth of gathering and preparation—storing what sustains, moving with quick intention through branches of daily life. When one appears, consider what you're collecting or holding close, and whether that busyness brings comfort or leaves you scattered across too many small concerns.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for squirrel, 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 seeing squirrels, denotes that pleasant friends will soon visit you. You will see advancement in your business also.
To kill a squirrel, denotes that you will be unfriendly and disliked.
To pet one, signifies family joy.
To see a dog chasing one, foretells disagreements and unpleasantness among friends.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of these animals is a sign of good fortune; they denote abundant crops to a farmer, and success to any one: if a man dreams of being bitten by a squirrel, it foretells that he will lose something by robbery.
