The Element Encyclopedia

by Theresa Cheung
Ferrets are lively, playful and easily tamed, but they need a lot of space. They can also inflict severe bites and emit a strong, musky smell. Although ferrets can appear very tame, they are not easy to look after as they often try to escape because, as a pet, they feel confined in the small places that we typically provide for them. To see a ferret in your dream may therefore suggest distrust and suspicion of others. The dream may also be a pun on the idea of ‘searching’ or ‘ferreting around’. Before getting any pet, you should think very hard about whether you can provide everything it needs; this is especially true for ferrets, so if you dream of one, are you giving yourself or someone you know all the care and attention they or you need?
