The depth of the ocean can represent unexplored aspects of the self. Standing at the ocean's edge may symbolize being at the boundary between conscious and unconscious awareness.
Rabbit
Rabbits symbolize fertility, abundance, quick thinking, and luck. The rabbit's ability to reproduce rapidly makes it a universal fertility symbol.
