What does it mean to dream of cheetahs?

Well, as you are aware that dreams represent symbolically events likely to happen. They are directly related to the person seeing the dream. In your dream you have seen cheetahs three in number and the aspect of fear arising due to that, but no harm done and a torch light. The Cheetahs represent vigor/ enthusiasm / confidence, torch represents inner light/ strength and the fear is the worry. The dream thus signifies that at present you have a worry bothering you but the solution that you have thought of is going to give you success because of your inner strengths / vigor and enthusiasm. Your confidence and inner urge is your strength so keep going and success is yours. BOL(Best of Luck).
