The phrase "poor as church mice" refers to being extremely poor or having very little money. It originates from the idea that mice living in a church would have access to little food or resources, as churches typically do not provide sustenance. The expression emphasizes a state of poverty and is often used to describe someone who is financially struggling.

What does it mean when you dream of getting a lot of mice out of a church?

In this dream, the mice symbolize something that needs to be gotten out of the church. The church might be just that, your faith tradition or more specifically, your personal beliefs. Because mice are regarded as filthy vermin, they symbolize something or someone you view as particularly nasty. This might be unwelcome people that you feel are ruining the church or it might be toxic beliefs, ideas or policies. The common expression, "poor as a church mouse," might influence these dream images, in which case the dream unfortunately would suggest a desire to drive the poor out of the church.
