Attack Cheetah

The only thing I can remember from my dream last night was me sitting in a car, in the drivers seat. It was dark outside and I as driving. I spotted a cheetah in my head lights off to the left of the car. It sprung at me through the window and was trying to attack me. I was holding it by the shoulders and screaming at the top of my lungs. I eventually threw it out the window and awoke with those deep pangs of fear running through my body.
