Boundary violation, anxiety, shadow
Rabbit

Intruder
An intruder in your home represents a violation of your personal boundaries — someone or something is invading your most private psychological space. The intruder can represent a repressed aspect of yourself demanding attention, an actual person whose presence feels invasive, or general anxiety about safety and vulnerability. How you respond to the intruder reveals your approach to boundary violations.
Rabbit
Rabbits symbolize fertility, abundance, quick thinking, and luck. The rabbit's ability to reproduce rapidly makes it a universal fertility symbol. In many cultures, the rabbit represents good fortune. A rabbit running may indicate the need for quick action or a tendency to run from problems. The 'rabbit hole' concept represents going deeper into the unknown or into obsessive thinking.
