Jaguar

Quick and effective in reaching goals.

Tenacity, or sheer energy for the long-haul.

Taking from or receiving from others.

Excelling in an area or environment where others don’t (since jaguars do well in water, while other cats do not).

Dreaming of this animal can represent too much or not enough of one of those qualities, or someone or something you associate with the quality or animal.

Consider also the animal’s actions, context, and your feelings about it.

All cats relate to the power of the feminine principle.

The larger the cat, the greater the power of this totem.

The jaguar is the third-largest feline, after the lion and tiger, so it has a certain gravitas in the symbolic world.

The jaguar is more of a climber than a runner, so its totem power is connected to stealth and the ability to maneuver through difficult terrain, where that terrain is synonymous with life challenges.

It is an animal with sacred and magical connotations in some native cultures of Latin America. For them, it represents power and wisdom. In general, however, seeing a jaguar in dreams indicates a dangerous situation that is difficult to escape. The dreamer is going through a moment of uncertainty and anxiety and doesn’t have the means necessary to solve the problems that afflict him.
