A dead squirrel in a cage

So my dream was about that I was with my mom and dad, they are divorced in real life and don't live together anymore. But they were both in my dream with my little brother and boyfriend. My parents were going to pick up something at this house so my bf was driving my brother was riding shotgun and my parents and I were in the back seat. We got to the place and I got down with my parents, my bf and brother stayed in the car. We went into a house of a young couple and I saw they had a baby squirrel in a cage box with a big lock. They told me that they were selling it if I was interested to buy it. I told them that I wanted to show my bf, so I went out of the house to the car i showed my bf and brother. I told my bf if I should buy it? In real life I been telling him if he wants to adopt a animal with me. Anyways, he got the cage and looked at it, I don't remember if he said anything but then gave it back, but right before I looked down at the baby squirrel in the cage I heard my mom calling me back. I told her I was coming back I then looked down at the cage to see it was dead. I was in shocked because it was alive when I had it, but suddenly dead after my bf gave it back. What does that mean?

This dream vision does seem to be related to your desire to adopt a pet in reality. The first symbol in this vision, your parents being together despite being separated in reality, could reveal your lifestyle and choices you make. In particular, this symbol reflects your own sincerity and honesty when dealing with others. However, wanting to adopt the squirrel in this dream may also indicate the presence of someone who does not prioritize or even cares about your well-being. This can be seen both in the caged nature of the squirrel and its death while it was being handled by your boyfriend. Perhaps you subconsciously feel that there is some barrier between you two or that he is being distant for some reason. In essence, this vision is probably a message from your subconscious asking you to consider what would happen if you really chose to adopt an animal together. While you might try to rationalize it as a way of solidifying your connection to him, you may wind up having to shoulder the responsibility all by yourself if things turn out poorly.

Having a squirrel attached to the face

I was at a work conference and took a day off to walk around a small town in California along the water. I ran into my female boss and she suddenly exclaimed that I had a squirrel on my head.
