Positive: If you dream of a shrew running away, it could represent your speed in running to God’s safety. Seeing a shrew in the midst of darkness could symbolize your ability to detect danger by God exposing the plans of the enemy to you.

Negative: Dreaming of a shrew could running away could indicate that you run from things out of fear. A shrew could represent that you feel trapped or hopeless and afraid to get out of your comfort zone.
