Instead of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, you had the 5 rats.
Rats are generally considered "unclean" and "vermin". They were the vectors that carried the Black Death during the Middle Ages(this is from memory. I could be wrong).
I think this overlaps with Akwyldeflwr's dream in referencing some sort of plague/pandemic: http://nationaldreamcenter.com/forum18/Thread-Gang-of-7
Then there's the aspect of a person of questionable ethical actions being called a "rat" or someone who tells/gives up information about someone else, "rats" them out(but this possibility doesn't resonate with me). Given how the rats in the dream shapeshifted from appearing dangerous to cute and innocuous implies that whatever the rats represented will be very dangerous for people yet seem harmless on the surface. That could range from people to whatever might carry a disease.
