Islamic Interpretation
In dream interpretation, a gazelle signifies a woman of great beauty. To capture one suggests taking a woman for a wife or forming a union with her. Hurling a stone at a gazelle denotes aggression toward a woman, committing an immoral act, separating from a spouse, or acting with cruelty. Pursuing a gazelle for hunting signifies financial gain. Striking a gazelle with arrows points to spreading falsehoods about a woman. Slaying a gazelle symbolizes taking the virginity of a female attendant. Should one dream of transforming into a deer, it indicates a life devoted to earthly pleasures, base desires, and physical yearnings. Being gifted a gazelle foretells receiving a bequest and attaining riches. A gazelle may also symbolize an offspring. If a gazelle enters one's dwelling, it means arranging a marriage for one's son. A gazelle leaping at the dreamer warns of a wife's defiance. Chasing after a gazelle suggests an increase in personal power. Possessing a gazelle denotes acquiring licit wealth or wedding a woman of high standing. Killing a gazelle or having one perish in one's arms portends grief, anguish, and hardships.
