Petting deer occurs when the brain attempts to bridge the gap between a state of high alert and a desire for connection. This dream tests how one might approach a situation that is prone to sudden flight. The mind uses the gesture of touch to test the stability of a situation that usually demands a cautious distance.
The movement of the hand seeks to establish a quietness that replaces the usual state of tension. While the impulse to touch suggests a search for intimacy or control, the nature of the animal keeps the dreamer aware of the thin line between stillness and panic. This dream allows for the rehearsal of calm in the presence of something that could easily vanish. Vulnerability exists because the encounter depends on the creature remaining still. There is a capacity for composure when the dreamer meets a sudden threat with gentleness.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
