To dream of these animals is a sign of good fortune; they denote abundant crops to a farmer, and success to any one: if a man dreams of being bitten by a squirrel, it foretells that he will lose something by robbery; if he catches the animal when it bites him, and puts it in a cage, the omen is different, for he will have a piece of good luck—though a robbery may be mixed up in it.

Original source (English)
To dream of a squirrel, shows that enemies are endeavoring to slander your reputation. To the lover, it shows your sweetheart is of a bad temper, and much given to drinking. If you have a lawsuit, it will surely be decided against you. If you are in trade, sharpers will endeavor to defraud you, and you will quarrel with your principal creditor.
