Grey Ocelot in dreams

A small, beautiful spotted cat — desire for a wild thing that would not be improved by capture.

Grey colour layers ambiguity onto the symbol. The base meaning is still there, but the dream is saying you do not yet have the colour information — the situation has not declared itself.

An ocelot in a dream is the dream's image of the wild thing you want to keep. Ocelots are striking and small enough to look ownable; in fact they suffer in cages, and the impulse to possess them ends badly for the cat. The dream brings the ocelot when something in your life — a person, a freedom, a feeling — is attractive precisely because it is not yours, and you are considering trying to hold it. A free ocelot at a distance is the dream telling you to let the thing stay where it belongs. A caged ocelot is the dream marking the cost of having grabbed.
