Hi there.
I have just woke up and this dream is really bothering me.

I dreamt I was in Norwich Cemetary (visiting my Auntie probably) and I was walking down the path (it's so creepy cause if anyone was there I could tell them what path it was) and I sort of glanced at the bin cause I saw rubbish moving. I went near there and saw it was a black rat (rattus rattus I know they are not seen much but that was what it was). I went slowly to it and started stroking it with one finger. It then scratched itself and I remember calling it a flea bag but dispite that continued to stroke it. I remember saying that I wasn't going to kill it as it hasn't done me any harm.

Anyways after that I started to walk home and the rat started to follow me. (I do love rodents but they weren't on my mind when I went to bed).

I don't know what happened next because I coughed and woke myself up

Can someone please tell me what this dream could possibly mean as it is really playing on my mind. And why was the rat a rattus rattus as I have never actually seen one before. I only know the breed name because I looked up black rats on the internet and what I saw in my dream was defintly a rattus rattus.

Like I said I do love rodants. My mate has two white rats and I do find them cute but like I said the cemetary and the rats were not in my head when I dreamt this.

Can someone please tell me what this dream means.

I read on the internet under the dream dictionary of rats and apprantly a black rat symbolises death. If this is true can someone tell me how as it was only a rat and I have never known a rat to kill people before. (often the other way round).
Thanks
