Dream About Leopard Protecting Me

Had a dream about a leopard that followed me everywhere while I was walking around. I was very scared cus he/she looked super dangerous but it never attacked me. I was walking around in a poor area and when a hyena tried to attack me the leopard full on attacked it til it ran off. I knew in my mind it was just protecting me but I was still nervous. Eventually I began to pet it and he/she leaned into it. And when I ran into someone I knew on the street it didn’t attack. I also think it was slightly injured
