To dream of deer

The soul, the gentle harmless self that is often hurt or wounded by our aggressiveness and cynicism, or by other peoples criticism; vulnerability; the unsocialized or wild, but gentle side of our instincts; love-sickness. In Greek mythology the deer was associated with the virginal huntress Artemis. So the female deer in a dream suggests the qualities of female gentleness and the connection with nature and the hidden world of the unconscious with all its strange wisdom.
