I'm walking with my dog, and what appears to be a rat on a leash, but it is tied around his middle so it keeps getting tangled up in his legs. At some point I have to stop by this fence and untangle him; it's not just his leash, it's his tail which is many feet long.

Then I'm driving, trying to get up to this backpacking trail that is familiar from other dreams, out on a hill in the country, where there are two different access points. But I'm thinking as I drive that I don't think I can get up to the trailhead in winter, but didn't I do this once before and just start wherever the road got too difficult?

I stop the car, but it doesn't appear snowy or anything. I'm walking along a trail right on the edge of a cliff, with somebody, and I point out the ground several thousand feet way, just inches from our feet. Be careful!
