A friendly or calm panther
A powerful animal that chooses to stay close without threatening you can evoke support. It might represent confidence you have developed or the steadiness you feel around someone who supports you.
A panther attacks
The attack can give shape to fear or mistrust. Think about which part of the encounter reminded you of a real concern and what you already know about it.

An elusive animal can draw attention to abilities or feelings you rarely acknowledge. Remember how you noticed the panther and whether seeing it made you feel more capable or more exposed.
