Big cats: Jaguar

Hi, had an unusual dream last night, wonder if anyone could help me make sense of it. I can usually understand them in part but this one has me stumped. I have been asking for guidance for my angels for some time, am not sure if this is meant to be some sort of answer. I have no connection with jaguars/big cats and the only association I make with them are grace and (in the case of lions) power.

My dream: I am in a lecture theatre in the evening, sitting high at the back with my mother, sister and partner. The dream is in vivid colour, red being the most dominant. The seats of the lecture theatre are red and I am wearing all white. For some reason, I am not sitting next to my companions. I am sitting in the row in front, even though there is an empty seat next to both my partner and my mother. The lecture theatre is quite full, there are lots of children at the front and I get the impression some sort of performance is about to take place.

The (red) curtain goes up and suddenly the entrance door to the room opens and a jaguar enters (orange with black patches, not an all black one). It strolls around quite languidly but there are people screaming and trying to shoo it away from the children. Jaguar walks through the children, barely noticing them. It then leaps up into 5th or 6th row and starts to walk up and down each row, looking intently at the floor. People are screaming and running but it has no interest in them. Everyone around me is panicking but I am watching it with a kind of detached interest. Someone then manages to lure it away, I think it is with meat. It follows the bait and the door is closed, shutting it out.

The performance starts but part way through, the jaguar returns. By now everyone is panicking and rushing to get out. It does what it did last time, walks up and down each row, as if it is looking for something. As it nears us, my sister screams and she and my mum start to run down the stairs at the side(we had near aisle seats). My partner is shouting at me to run and reaching out for me to take his hand but I can't, the jaguar is looking for me and some part of me thinks I have been looking for it because I feel both energized and at peace all at once.

My partner follows my family down the stairs and out the door. No-one is left save for me and this animal. I continue to watch it as it approaches me row by row, it never looks up but is tracking by scent it seems, concentrating very hard. When it comes into my row, it approaches from the aisle fartherst away from me. 8, 6,5, 4 seats away from me and then it leaps up onto the seat 4 away from me. It turns in a circle on the seat then sits down, very tall and facing me. Only then does it look up and I am transfixed by it's green eyes. It opens it's mouth, tosses it's head back, lets out a rumbly roar.... and then I woke up. I got the distinct impression that it leapt into my body. On waking I was shaking, felt like I'd just been blasted with 8 hours of pure sunshine and was very, very puzzled.

All day I have been running around feeling energized, I've achieved far more than I normally do. It was a nice dream but I'm still puzzled by it.
