Rabbits are one of the most popular pets. However, rabbits have been a part of lives, cultures, and religious practices for much longer than they have been considered pets. Historically speaking, rabbits hold a great deal of symbolic meaning. This can guide dreams, art, and even traditional dress.

Rabbits almost always symbolize prosperity, abundance, good luck, and fertility. Unlike many other animals, which have different meanings in different cultures, rabbit symbolism is consistent. In most European cultures, rabbits are springtime animals, symbolic of fruitfulness and renewal. The connection between rabbits and spring is also found in Japanese culture. In the U.S., rabbits are symbolic of cleverness, devotion to self-improvement, and good luck.

There are some cultures that see rabbits differently, however. While rabbits are the luckiest of the Zodiac animals in China, they are primarily seen as trickster animals by Native American cultures. Furthermore, while many Central American peoples see rabbits as symbols of fertility, Aztec mythology associates rabbits with drunkenness and promiscuity.
Symbols have great importance in dreams, as many spiritualists and psychologists agree. To see a rabbit in your dreams can signify many things. Most commonly, a rabbit symbolizes:

Luck
Power
Success
Emotional abundance or warmth
Fertility
Sexual activity
This may seem to be a wide range of symbols, but these meanings cover a variety of situations. How the rabbit presents itself in your dream can also have a huge impact on the supposed meaning.

Rabbits Symbolize Duality
While it may seem strange to place such heavy symbolism on such small, soft creatures, it is actually very appropriate. Despite being prey animals, rabbits can be fierce and will fight to protect their territories and family.

Rabbits represent a number of things to people across the world, but they are most often considered symbolic of:

Family
Fertility
Intelligence
Spirituality
Good luck
Yet, depending on how they appear, they can also symbolize:

Loss
Fear
Promiscuity
Hedonism.
Rabbits are extremely contradictory animals. Small but fierce, soft yet strong, fearful yet clever, they are the ultimate prey animal. Despite this, they have survived and even thrived in the face of their many predators. This could be why so many cultures consider them lucky.
