An interpretation of leopard dreams

An interpretation of leopard dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The presence of a leopard, panther, or jaguar in a dream can be an alert to danger or warning against vulnerability. They are particularly stealthy, creating an association with something that stalks and strikes when prey is vulnerable. Dreams can dramatize personal situations, so while the danger from a leopard in a dream is depicted as physical or mortal, the danger in your life is more likely to be personal, emotional, or psychological. Leopards are known for their temper, so a leopard in a dream can represent your temper or the temper of someone you know. They’re known for being defensive and territorial and can symbolize the instinct to protect territory. Territory includes personal territory, such as a person you consider to be “yours” or an area of expertise where you dominate. A leopard can symbolize freedom to roam and be yourself. A leopard or other sort of big cat in a cage is the opposite image. See: Cages Because leopards aren’t seen very often in the wild, a leopard in your dream may symbolize someone who isn’t seen very often, such as a long-lost sibling. Leopards and panthers are strong, proud, and fiercely independent, creating possibilities for symbolism to describe qualities about yourself or someone you know, especially strength of spirit. Wild animals can also be used as markers to tell a story. For example, because panthers hunt by night they can symbolize venturing into the unknown or seduction. Because they stalk their prey they can symbolize a hyper-competitive environment or situation. Panthers can symbolize instincts associated with them, such as to remain hidden rather than be seen in the open. They can symbolize an instinct to protect yourself. A dream about a leopard can be sparked by thoughts of traveling to exotic places, because they’re the sort of environments where leopards are usually found. Be sure to read: Lion, Tiger.
