Islamic Interpretation
A mouse hole, den, lair, or burrow in a dream symbolizes deviation and hidden paths, representing the pursuit of innovations in religious practice or attachment to misguided leaders who introduce false ideas and lead people away from the straight path. It reflects secrecy, concealment, and adherence to beliefs or behaviors that lack sound foundation and spread corruption quietly. Such a den may also signify charcoal, pointing to something dark, burned, or reduced from its original state. If an animal is seen emerging from a hole or den, it indicates that the dreamer will speak words or express behavior that mirrors the nature and character of that animal, revealing inner traits, moral qualities, or base instincts that were previously hidden.
