Jen - You start off moving - dancing and singing - a sign of life expressing through you. Also it represents contact with your core.
Then you are led you out into the bush, a sure sign you are leaving all your civilised or human education behind and are becoming more the 'you' underneath all the programming. This doesn't mean you lose your human soul. See

http://dreamhawk.com/news/summing-up/#BSS The woman leading you is most likely your future self. If you can accept that you have a huge but unexpressed self, you can also probably accept that the latent potential, if it is beginning to show in our present life, will be presented as our future self, the self we can become by developing.
Our future self, which is like a baby, which parents can see can grow in the future into a mature woman or man, has similar promise. In dreams it can be shown as a spiritual guide, an alien, a great spiritual being like the Christ, Mohammed or Krishna, or a dreamed of new born baby.
So this leads you to completely surrender in relaxation, which allows you to realise cries of distress from the instinctive part of you - especially your female instinctive feelings. But this part of you - the cat - has already been killed in a road accident and is swallowed by the dream hyena.
Predators usually only devour/kill the creatures that are either ill or not equipped to deal with life well. Considering that every living thing on Earth developed from single celled creatures became plant like and then with movement, we are all, even plants, living creatures. We kill/devour everything to survive. Life feeds on itself and in its wisdom sees not death but transformation and new life.
So I am guessing that you were hurt/run over at some time, and your inner hyena is transforming a weak and hurt part of you into something new. It would be helpful to imagine yourself as the cat and the hyena - also the spiritual woman - to find your inner understanding. See
