Rabbit

  • if alone, trembling, hiding: a warning against timidity.
  • female with male: symbolize the constant desire for sex and consequently also high fertility; sometimes they symbolize the possibility of establishing a partner relationship or show the dreamer a partner relationship of a relative or acquaintance according to the place where the rabbits are located.
  • often reveal in an allegory the instinctual essence of some of our relationships (even past).
  • seeing a rabbit with its young: someone from our circle of relatives or acquaintances will give birth to at least twins (usually within nine months) at the place where we see these rabbits.
  • receiving rabbits as a gift (especially a male and female): possibility of establishing a partner relationship.
  • giving rabbits (especially a male and female), a rabbit as a ceremonial sacrifice: abandoning a possible partner relationship.
  • white: can show the dreamer the path to the inner world (as it did in Alice in Wonderland).
  • in the myths of North American Indians it bears the mythological figure of a "trickster" and can appear in the dreams of contemporary people as a prankster and even bungler that is often destroyed by its own pranks and trickery; it ends up injured or even dead so that the rabbit - trickster*70 comes to life again.
