What does it mean to dream about hare?

A swift, skittish dream animal, often symbolizing fertility, intuition, or an anxious alertness.

In old omens, the hare is a dual sign: indicating timidity or, conversely, luck. Archetypally, the hare is linked both to fertility and quick thinking, as well as to a vulnerable, constantly vigilant part of the psyche. Its appearance in a dream can reflect either creative fruitfulness or heightened anxiety and a need for safety. The 'Hare' rune in Raido's system protects this image from hasty judgment: the hare freezes—not out of laziness or cowardice.

What it might feel like
