The deer is gentleness, grace, sensitivity and the soul of the forest. A stag with great antlers is spiritual authority and renewal. It often appears when your soft, alert, innocent side needs attention.
When the dream feels light
A deer in a clearing speaks of peace, tenderness and spiritual guidance.
When the dream feels dark
A hunted or frightened deer means vulnerability, a gentle part of you under threat or fear of being exposed.
Ask yourself
Where do I need to protect my gentleness?
