The base reading of Fox
A fox in a dream is the dictionary's image of clever strategy. The fox is rarely violent in dreams; it is patient and uses the long way. The dream tends to appear when someone in your life, or a part of you, has been operating with quiet strategy and is starting to see results.
This is sometimes you. The dream is asking you to notice that the strategy has been working — and to decide whether you still want to be the one running it.
Where you often see it. A fox crossing a road at dusk. A fox watching from underbrush. The dream uses the fox for cleverness with a long memory — strategy that has worked for a while.
What it is not. A fox is not always cunning-as-deceit. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's intelligent improvisation.
Related in the dictionary. Read fox with fox-kit (the young version), wolf (a different intelligence), and any scene of agile strategy.
