I've had two recent dreams where I had two pet rats that came running up to and jumping on me just like a puppy would. In the second dream it was with a ferret who was very lovable. Any ideas on what these animals could represent? I have an intense interest in lucid dreams and out of body experience-things that are about the subconscious. I pursue that subject for the benefits it can bring-anything from improving your golf swing to personality improvement.
