The lion is the king of beasts, symbolizing greatness, strength, courage and dominance. Seeing the king of the jungle in a dream means waking up, feeling a surge of energy, fighting him - destroying your happiness. What lions dream of is interpreted in dream books from different points of view. The main meaning that dominates all the books is power, which can either be gained or lost.
Fight in dreams and in reality
Why do you dream about these wild animals attacking a person? The outcome of the struggle has a direct interpretation and personifies the prospects of a real confrontation. Seeing an open mouth above you means defeat, and riding an animal in a dream means having enough courage to win.
If you dreamed about tigers fighting among themselves, a person would know all the secrets of their opponents. All that remains is to calmly use this to your advantage. If lions fought in a dream, in reality you will witness a fight between competitors.
Their desperate fight between themselves prophesies that events will be able to be directed in the right direction using the “divide and conquer” method.
An old English dream book
In the old dream book of Zedkiel, the image of a lion in a dream is interpreted as an improvement in financial situation and respect in society. This noble beast signifies greatness, exaltation, intelligence. For a woman, a dream about lions and lion cubs means marriage to a worthy man who is particularly brave and kind. For a man, this is marriage to an intelligent, thrifty, noble woman.
Other dream meanings:
- Growling is fame, popularity, publicity. A person who sees a wild animal in a dream will experience stunning success that will lead to glory.
- The indifference of the beast is a potential strength that complexes and external circumstances prevent it from obtaining.
- The fight against the beast marks the victorious exit from a difficult situation.
- Tigers - radical changes, a transition to a bright streak of life.
- Evil predators - loss of power, refusal of responsibility.
- For a woman, fighting the beast speaks of attempts to change her partner, which do not produce results; for a man, it means the risk of defeat.
- Training is a way out of a difficult situation thanks to intuition and intelligence.
Signs of non-standard sexuality
From the point of view of Freud's dream book, a lion and a tiger symbolize hypertrophied sensuality, increased libido and a tendency to deviations associated with violence. Both a man and a woman who dreamed of sexual contact with a predator in reality experience a tendency towards masochism. Why dream that these were baby animals: constant sexual dissatisfaction will find a way out in caring for the offspring. Sometimes a meeting with them predicts a decisive change in sexual preferences.
If in a dream powerful animals hunt and share the prey, a person is ready for the most unusual sexual experiments. Their attack on the dreamer foreshadows troubles due to love affairs. Tamed animals indicate constantly suppressed desires.
A happy dream is when a woman sees the skins of a lion and a tiger together. In the dream book of Lovers, it is interpreted in accordance with ancient Indian traditions - as a sign of mastery of the art of seduction and the conquest of power over a man, which the dreamer uses in the name of a rich marriage. For a man to hear the roar of an animal is a sign that he will gain power over the woman he desires.
Interpretation of the meaning of sleep
A person who is capable of showing courage and determination, trying to make fair and correct decisions, and effectively coping with difficult life situations can often dream of a lion. It is not difficult for such a person to achieve a high position in life. This is the general interpretation of the dream.
But for an accurate decoding, you should remember the details of the vision: where he was, what he looked like, how he behaved, how he interacted with the dreamer.
One beast or pride
If you dream of one animal, then it can symbolize an important person, a business partner with whom you have a business meeting. You should be careful: intrigues and fraudulent actions are possible on the partner’s side.
A dreaming pair of lions is a symbol of successful interaction with a business partner. An organized business will be successful and profitable, and will become the basis for strengthening your financial position. Moreover, it does not matter what gender the animal pair is seen: two males or a male and a female.
Pride in a dream foreshadows a happy meeting with a loved one, a pleasant time in a friendly company, or participation in a festive or special event.
Behavior and state of an animal in a dream
To find out exactly why you dreamed about a lion, you should remember its behavior:
- A growling beast is a warning of great danger. Either a loved one will betray you, or a business partner will set you up. Sometimes a dream reflects the dreamer’s power-hungry thoughts.
- The predator is nervous, irritated, rushing from side to side - in reality, a difficult situation has arisen, which the sleeper will have to cope with on his own. Also, such a plot can be dreamed of if the dreamer was the victim of a hypocritical enemy.
- A beast greedily devouring food is an image of future victory. The sleeper will be able to confront competitors with dignity, force them to admit defeat, thanks to which he will achieve his goals.
- To see a lion speaking humanly in a dream means an influential person will help you once, but this will be enough to gain a foothold at a high level in life.
It is important to consider what state the animal was in and what it looked like:
- The sleeper is a harbinger of a stable financial situation, family well-being, a quiet life, and the achievement of authority in society.
- Dead - can mean either a break in relations with an authoritative person who previously helped to conduct business, or a serious illness.
- Sick, hungry - you have to reassess life values.
- Black - the dreamer behaves at work like a real despot. If a black beast was killed in a dream, then the team will be able to get rid of the oppressive employee.
- White - the dreamer gets along well with the team, knows how to control emotions, and cares for justice. Sometimes a white animal predicts the appearance of a strong patron.
- Gold – indicates financial stability and family well-being.
- Fiery is a harbinger of passionate feelings.
Animal location
In a dream you happened to see a lion in a cage at a zoo or in a circus arena - in reality you will have to endure an insult and lose your reputation. A hopeless situation may arise involving the loss of a significant amount of money.
If you dreamed of a lion walking freely on the savannah, then this is a reflection of inner freedom and financial independence. The sleeper is confident in his own capabilities and does not doubt the favor of his superiors. A dream can predict an imminent foreign business trip.
I dreamed of a lion walking around the city - a difficult but important stage of life lies ahead. You have to think about your social status and make a responsible decision in a short time.
Together with other animals
A lion may be in a cage with other animals, and the meaning of the dream also depends on this:
- why do you dream of a tiger and a lion together - you will have to endure humiliation (and a fight between cats means that the cause of humiliation will be a fierce struggle for power);
- a lion and a dog lying peacefully next to each other - the dreamer’s friend has achieved a high position in society, but remains the same person, has not forgotten about friendship, is always ready to help;
- lion and fox - a terrible event is coming.
Relationship between the dreamer and the lion
Taming tigers and lions in the circus means having sufficient skills and strength to successfully complete the task. The sleeper clearly understands what he is capable of, so he methodically and carefully achieves excellent results in his financial situation and personal relationships.
Why do you dream of an attacking lion? This is an image of a disappointed loved one. Great hopes were placed on him, he promised to help, but he let him down, betrayed him for selfish reasons.
The dreamer hunts an animal, takes part in a safari - in reality he has no doubts about the loyalty of his friends and their willingness to help. If the safari is large, with many cars and participants, then to achieve your goals you will have to try hard, both mentally and physically. You can’t trust your partners and colleagues to implement your plans: they can stab you in the back.
Fearlessly resting next to an animal, lying with it in the grass - achieving a high position in society. The dreamer kills a predator with a gun - in reality, through his own stupidity, he will destroy happiness.
The image of a lion for women and men
Women's dreams are more saturated with emotions, detailed. Men's dreams are characterized by greater clarity and dynamics of the plot. In both women's and men's visions, the image of a lion generally has a similar meaning, however, there are nuances of interpretation related to the gender of the dreamer:
- A man can see a lion before an important meeting with a status person, an official. Perhaps this meeting will result in career growth.
- For a woman, a wild animal is an image of a future respectable and wealthy admirer.
- For a girl, a dream about a predator promises a quick legalization of her relationship with her beloved man.
- Even a child can see an animal in a dream. The image means that one of the parents puts pressure on the child, oppresses his personality, and punishes him in a way that is not childish.
