Rabbit iconmental habit

A 'Rabbit' in a dream represents a mental habit. Like all animals in dreams, a rabbit represents habitual thoughts -- thoughts that enter your mind automatically. Consider the qualities of a rabbit: quick, alert, reproductive, and prone to freezing when startled. Rabbits are known above all for their prolific reproduction. This reflects a habitual thought pattern that multiplies rapidly. One thought leads to two, two leads to four, and before you know it, the thought has reproduced into an overwhelming population within your mind. This could be a worry that spirals, an anxiety that multiplies, or even a productive idea that rapidly generates more ideas. Pay attention to what the rabbit is doing and how many there are. A single rabbit reflects a manageable habitual thought. Many rabbits indicate that a thought pattern has been reproducing unchecked. Is the rabbit calm or frightened? A frightened rabbit reflects a fearbased habitual thought that freezes you in place. When a rabbit shows up in your dream, examine the habitual thoughts that are multiplying in your mind. Are they productive, generating new ideas and possibilities? Or are they anxious, reproducing worry upon worry until you are overrun? Gain control through concentration. When you can observe a thought without reacting to it, you stop it from reproducing unchecked.
