Dreams about deer are generally positive, although there are variations that could have negative meanings. However, dreams about seeing a deer usually indicate you are about to hear or experience something good.

Since deer represents positive energy, strength, bravery, courage and all of that in such an elegant and graceful form, seeing a deer in a dream means you will have enough of your own strength to successfully overcome troubles in life and embrace new opportunities with an open heart.

If you dream about a stag, a strong, beautiful male deer, it means you are a brave and strong person, even if you sometimes fail to realize that.

Many times heavens send us powerful messages, such as symbols we see in our waking life and in our dreams; when we feel down, lacking our motivation and strength and even hope, heavens make sure we get well and thus send us amazing and beautiful messengers, with special symbolical powers.

A stag represents masculine energy, power to overcome darkness; therefore, it means you will soon overcome difficulties you have in reality.

On the other hand, this dream could also have a bit negative meaning. A stag, big deer with grandiose antlers could also be seen a symbol of rage and anger.

It could represent your deeply suppressed negative feelings you are being unable to express in reality.

This anger comes either from your failure to accomplish something or your current position in which you cannot control things (e.g. your inability to advance at your job, your inability to change things in life or to resolve certain conflicts etc.).

Maybe you appear to be calm in reality, but you constantly have feeling something troubles you, until emotions reach the point of boiling and show up either in your dreams, as a channel, or in waking life.
