Animals

Mink

A sleek, vicious small carnivore of the riverbank — appetite hidden inside a beautiful coat.

A mink in a dream is the dream's image of appetite hidden inside a beautiful coat. The mink is prized for the fur and is, in life, an aggressive hunter that takes far more than it eats. The dream brings the mink when something in your life — a luxury, a well-presented person, a beautiful possession — is in fact carrying a destructive appetite at the centre of it. A mink seen moving along the bank is the dream telling you the coat and the predator are the same creature. A mink at a chicken-house in a killing frenzy is the dream noting that the appetite is not rational, and the elegant surface was always the wrapping around the part that takes.
