Hello Everyone!
I had a fascinating dream last night, that I would love to hear some comments/ideas about. It was a fairly long dream, so I won't attempt to get into it all, but there was one part which particularly struck me. I was lying in bed (in the dream) when I felt my cat jump up on the side of the bed and continue to walk around the pillow above my head. It wasn't until it reached the other side of me that I was able to look over and see that it was not my cat, but instead what appeared to be a beautiful Bengal cat. It looked almost lit-up from within, and I was so struck by how beautiful it was, when I heard a voice tell me to "follow the leopards". I then knew that it was actually a small leopard. (odd, I know, but somehow I just knew it was). It walked to join about 4/5 other leopards all lying in a row, looking extremely regal. The dream then shifted to show only one leopard left, wearing some sort of regal hat/crown. Then shifted again so that the leopard was now lying next to a baby fawn (I could tell from the spots that it was a fawn, not an adult deer). They both seem highly important and I made a point to remember it so that I could ask you guys about it later. My dream continued on for a little while, but it meandered down a different path. It's really the leopard part that I would love some help with.
I did some research on leopard symbolism, and to my surprise found that they are sometimes even related to Artemis (one of my goddesses) as they are seen as a top huntress. Also symbols of royalty, magic, nighttime and secrets. Deer are seen as symbols of grace, the fairy realm, the hunt, and the moon.
What do you guys think? There are definite similarities between the two meanings, yet at the same time they can be seen as the opposite - the hunter and the hunted. Yet in the dream I felt a companionship, not a danger between the two. Could this somehow be a message from my Goddess Artemis? She is often pictured with a stag.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now and ask for advice. I would love to know what you guys think!
