Skunk

Skunks, Skunk smell, Being sprayed by a skunk

Black and white, slow and surprisingly mellow, a skunk is famous for one thing, and that one thing earns it plenty of room. Dream skunks are tied to reputation and to things that linger: a remark, a mistake or a mood that hangs in the air long after the moment has passed. A skunk wandering by and leaving you alone suggests an awkward situation will ease if you keep your cool. Smelling one without seeing it can mean you sense something isn't right but can't yet say what.
