To dream of simply treeing a raccoon, is a good omen, for you will probably either gain a sum of money, or have it left to you as a legacy: if you imagine that you shoot the animal, and he falls to the ground, this will spoil the luck; you should stop dreaming as soon as the ’coon is up the tree.

To dream of a raccoon is a sign of rain (Gypsy). The Ainos pray to the skulls of these animals during drought to bring on rain; to increase the storm they don gloves and caps of raccoon skin and dance (Frazer).
