I dreamt of seeing a beautiful tiger frozen in snow…my response to it was admiring it’s beauty…there was no fear of it…
I see my tiger frequently…most of the time he turns his head towards me and just stares….i have to say it gives me strength and i always feel it is a symbol of him leading me to do the right thing. I have had many problems with people around me and feel sure he guides me along through this.
Whatever drug you’re on… Lay off it.
that explains it
I know that I have a Tiger Spirit guide. I consider the Tiger to be my pet, and I dream about my tiger often. It was mentioned to me by 2 separate psychics that I had a tiger. I had already been dreaming of my tiger. In some dreams I am petting the tiger, and in other’s the tiger is just with me, in most of the dreams the tiger is in some form of captivity, either a zoo, or a sanctuary, sometimes it has more freedom than others. I think it is representative of some of the ways that I am held back in life by marriage, family, and finances. There is great fierceness in me, I am very brave, and usually pretty outgoing, I am impulsive at times, and don’t always trust myself. I have anger issues, that I find hard to control some times. So all the information above seemed to resonate with me.
Ditto, Kirsten!
I’m a tiger I spends months home with my family. We live in a very isolated country. I leave for long periods to hunt bad people. I love intuitively finding real bad people. I don’t have to show any restraint, cause they will do what they can to escape,but I catch them hurting families, children, or animals. I use to be a very scary child, but now I’m very powerful tiger.
I’ve never seen my spirit animal before , and I really was meet it!
Got any tips ?
I used hypnosis. There are some online if you want to look it up.
my spirt animal is a tiger but I never had a dream about it
I dreamt of a tiger grab me and drag me through pool of water. I calmly repositioned myself and as he jumped out again jump on his back. A gesture that I was not afraid. He then gently imprinted my right hand. I saw the imprint and cannot describe it. I feel pretty calm and balanced in my awaken life. Am I missing something. N.B.
Yes I am a tiger I am the strongest cat????????????????????\????-????????????????????????????✌????????????
I had a dream where two cats were dueling with swords in a castle. The good and stronger one was yellow, and the evil and slightly weaker one was orange. They fought to the death, and the orange one destroyed the base of a pillar to let it fall on the yellow one, and the orange one killed the yellow.
hi
There was once that I dreamt that I was running away from some guy and came across this mansion, I thought I could hide in there. Then when I passed the threshold, three tigers emerged from the front door, a red,blue and yellow. I was very scared as they all came stalking towards me. Then in a flash, I was lying on the ground bloodied and dead, the three tigers circling me. Then I woke up, does it meant that something bad is going to happen? I’m very worried as this happened just after I took a very important exam.
I saw a tiger chasing me and my husband.later he and his children begin eating people.they tried to attack us but we were safe.
you are big and funnny
