Animals

Running hare

A hare at full speed across open ground — flight by trust in legs rather than in shelter.

A running hare in a dream is the dream's image of flight by trust in legs rather than in shelter. The hare does not have a hole; the hare has speed. The dream brings the hare when something in your life — a difficult position, a confrontation, a demand — is being met not by hiding but by sheer fast movement. A hare reaching the next field intact is the dream telling you the strategy of speed is working. A hare running in circles, with no destination, is the dream noting that the legs have become the only strategy and the route is no longer being chosen.
