A dream of playing with a rat - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: There doesn’t seem to be a widely shared, specific traditional interpretation of playing with a mouse. Unlike folk readings that see mice as worries or something unsettling, you might focus on the closeness you felt in the dream.
