Dreaming of a Deer
deer, doe · mixed: gentle to watch, harmful to hunt
Deer speak of sincere friendships and a peaceful life, but hunting or killing one turns sour.
What happens in the dream
- You see these animals: unexpected news of any kind — a wedding, a legacy, someone who loves you
- You see deer: deep, honest friendships if you're young, a quiet life if you're married
- You kill a deer: enemies will hound you
- You hunt deer: failure in your work or business
- Deer in a park: hard times, and a quarrel with your sweetheart
How you felt
- Gentleness and wonder: the dream often reflects a need for peace and genuine bonds
- Unease after the hunt: perhaps a sense of chasing something at the expense of what's fragile
Ask yourself
- Which friendships truly do me good?
- Am I chasing something that keeps slipping away?
