Three encounters with the jaguar
A jaguar chases you
Pursuit can give urgency to an unresolved fear. Think about what you were avoiding and what might be easier to face if you could stop running long enough to look at it.
You fight the jaguar
The conflict may evoke having to assert yourself. Consider whether you felt determined to be heard, cornered into responding or surprised by your own strength.
A jaguar guides you
A guide can bring intuition or a hidden ability into view. Recall what the jaguar helped you notice and whether that changed how you understood the scene.
