I've read those descriptions but in my case these animals were very loving friends. I can see some connections with the ferret-as a sneaky creature-this to a friendship to another person I met. The rats dream was a couple weeks earlier. they also were very loving and playful. I don't make any connections here. How do I feel about rats and ferrets? I've always wanted a pet rat -same with a ferret. the wife wouldn't go for it.
