Animals

Gazelle

A small, graceful antelope — survival made beautiful by being made fast.

A gazelle in a dream is the dream's image of grace under the constant possibility of harm. Gazelles do not have armour or size; what they have is lightness, and that is enough. The dream brings the animal when you are getting through difficulty by being unencumbered rather than by being strong. A gazelle running is the dream affirming the strategy. A gazelle injured or limping is the dream warning that the lightness you depend on is no longer reliable and a different plan is needed.
