Shar,
I've looked up what I could find in my books. There are a few things that may give you something to ponder.
From "The Running Press Cyclopedia: Dreams" by David Lohff:
The color White: the positive meaning is purity, wholesomeness, sacred ritual. The negative meaning is emptiness.
Rats: "For most people, dreams of rats reveal concerns of becoming destitute scavengers themselves -- friendless and outcast. Another potential scenario is that the dreamer feels that his or her social security is being gnawed away. In contrast to theft, when all is quickly and dramatically taken, the rats gradually erode their environment."
From: "Dream Dictionary: by Boushahla and Reidel-Geubtner:
"Horse: Tempestuous emotions; sexual energy; the intellect or intelligence; hard-worker. Ancient Germans and Scandinavians believed that horses were able to speak and to predict the future; therefore, horses were sometimes used as oracles. Horse and rider: a message from the higher realms of consciousness. Horse without a saddle: not in control, may be suggesting to 'put on the saddle, get in control'. ..."
"Rabbit: fertility; sexual desire; Easter, or an awakening. White rabbit -- may show the dreamer the gateway to an inner world, as in 'Alice in Wonderland.' "
There also are references on death, but they are rather lengthy and kind of obvious.
My Jung books don't have dictionary-like references for specific things, so it was hard to glean any information.
Let me know if I can look up anything else. If you want to email me, my address is: acm38 at cornell dot edu.
Cheers,
Allison
