They like sneaking up on their prey and then making a dash for it. They are most likely to be caught when stopping to see if the cheetah is still following them. Similarly, those who try and escape depression, fear, negative emotions and habits of the past by resorting to food, alcohol, or other forms of addictive behaviour, often find themselves stopped in their tracks, with the negative emotions they try to avoid at their throats.

While the Native Americans did not encounter gazelles in their daily lives, they did have antelopes in their culture. The antelope symbolizes the same grace and elegance, with the resistance born of maximizing the use of their talents.
As such, the antelopes were hailed as clan animals for some tribes, especially for those that originated from South America.
The Celtic also did not encounter the gazelle in their culture, but in terms of symbolism the closest we could get to is the famed unicorn. To the Celts, this mythical creature also symbolized beauty and perseverance even despite its limitations. However, the unicorn has the added attribute of being ferocious in terms of keeping its freedom. It was fabled to prefer jumping off a cliff rather than being caught! In the far east, the antelope is only present in Indian symbolism as it is connected to Vayu, the Lord of the Wind.
This pays homage to the speed of the gazelle. It is also the symbol for the element of air in Indian Tantrism. Gazelles may appear in dreams when you need to exert more effort to evade an impending danger. This may be through becoming more alert, observing your surroundings keenly. This may also be through doubling down on whatever efforts you are doing at the moment. When you encounter a gazelle, it is inviting you to enjoy life in a way that only you would know how.
