Symbolic meaning

• Calm rabbit -> gentle opportunity.
• Running rabbit -> fleeting chance.
• Injured rabbit -> vulnerable potential.
• Many rabbits -> multiplied options or anxiety.

Psychological perspective

Psychological lenses read rabbit imagery as heightened sensitivity and fast threat scanning.

Contextual variations

• Rabbit in open field: exposed opportunity.
• Rabbit in home: private vulnerability.
• Rabbit hiding: avoidance strategy.
