I had a dream that infectious, white rats were taking over the city through cloths left on the floor - when the rats got to your legs, they had this ability to attach on, and then morph inside of your body - essentially turning you into a zombie, rat puppet.

I looked up rats in my Dream Encyclopedia:

Rats: Rats are often associated with the decaying conditions of poverty or illness. Dreams of rats can also indicate need to take some time out from the "rat race".

Great - so I'm either completely broke, dying or overworked - that's helpful...tell me something I didn't know!!!
