DEER

Deer and a few other wild ruminants--the odd camel or giraffe. But no moose. For some reason, I dream about moose so much so they get their own little page. Go figure!

So what do dream deer mean? Well, when I typed that question, I misspelled it "dear." And I do feel affection for deer--indeed, identify with them in a way meat-eating humans probably can't. Besides being herbivorous myself, I'm shy and skinny and nervous--I know how it feels to be always on alert around you scary two-legged predators.

I also find deer beautiful. Like cheetahs or sports cars, they've evolved for speed, pushed into a sort of dancer's grace even horses can't easily match. You'll notice, in the following dreams, how often I fall in love with a deer. I find it hard not to.

But that's just me. You may be quite another species.
