Purple Ocelot in dreams
A small, beautiful spotted cat — desire for a wild thing that would not be improved by capture.
How purple changes the reading
Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.
The base reading of Ocelot
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.
