Badger and set

A badger in a dream is the dream's image of a stubborn occupant of ground their family has held for generations. Badger sets are passed down; the tunnels may be older than any single badger living in them. The dream brings the badger when something in your life — an inherited position, a family house, a stubborn old institution — is being held by a creature whose claim is older than the current dispute over it. A badger on its own ground is the dream affirming the inheritance. A badger driven out of the set, with the tunnels collapsing, is the dream noting that a very old occupancy has been broken, and what was held across generations has been lost in one season.
