Rabbit

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.
Twin or Double
Seeing your double, twin, or doppelganger in a dream represents confrontation with another aspect of yourself — perhaps a side you don't normally acknowledge. This can represent inner conflict between two desires, the gap between who you are and who you present to the world, or the emergence of an undeveloped part of your personality seeking integration.
