Storing squirrel
A squirrel hiding nuts — small, busy preparation for a winter that has not yet arrived.
A storing squirrel in a dream is the dream's image of small, busy preparation for a winter that has not yet arrived. The squirrel does not know the date; the squirrel obeys the season. The dream brings the squirrel when something in your life — savings, a stockpile, a body of practice — is being put away because some older part of you knows the lean stretch is coming. A squirrel burying nuts in many places is the dream affirming the foresight. A squirrel that has forgotten where everything is buried is the dream noting that the stores are real and the map has been lost, and the winter will arrive at someone else's stash.
