As an expert in linguistics and cultural references, I can tell you that the phrase "chase the rabbit" can have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a couple of interpretations:

1. Literally, it could mean the act of pursuing a rabbit, which might be part of a hunting activity or a playful chase in a non-hunting context.
2. Figuratively, in a more abstract sense, it could refer to the pursuit of a particular goal or objective that is elusive or difficult to achieve, much like the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," which leads Alice into a world of fantasy and confusion.
3. In some contexts, especially in colloquial speech or idiomatic expressions, it might also be a metaphor for engaging in an activity that is ultimately futile or unproductive.

It's important to consider the surrounding words and the situation to understand the intended meaning fully.
