The expression “fight like a tiger” illustrates this point.
If the dream shows the tiger totem in a positive light or a guiding role, it could be interpreted as an encouragement to use or develop the qualities or attributes you usually associate with tigers.

Being chased by a tiger in a dream denotes how you’re trying to run away from your own emotions or desires.

My main spirit animal I received was a Butterfly, but I received tiger and humming bird as side animals. I decided to check these out, but on this when I read
Shadow or part of you that you would normally try to hide or reject.
I froze. Lately I’ve been having problems with my shadow. It’s creepy so yeah…
I also got tiger, hummingbird, and butterfly, tiger being my main animal. They most likely have very similar characteristics and are typically paired together
I have two animal guides, I feel them both constantly, a golden tiger and a red wolf. I am a sort of laid back person but recently I’ve been really temperamental. My theory is that my tiger spirit and my wolf spirit instincts are clashing. What are your thoughts?
Ps. golden tigers are real they are just very rare as are red wolves.
COOL FUCKING STORY BRO
Same here but so i have heard everyone person has around 3 animals so far in my journey i have found sapphire my black tiger and topaz my white wolf
the thing is when you feel them constantly something unexpected may happen and you need to be alert. I feel this constantly they are trying to lead me to my third spirit animal.
Everyone says they are a wolf your probably not one
I had a dream about a tiger a few times and I remeaber I strucking in a race I didn’t give up infill I win and I I won
In meditation a tiger came to me like a friend and licked snuggled up to me and licked my face … What does that mean ??
I saw a white tiger and a lion …..both are protecting me but I don’t wanna get their protection. ………reply me …..
Im not sure what i am i like fighting and bring calm can somebody help me find my spirit animal
I am like a tiger and I do have anger probs sometimes but iv never had a dream about a tiger but about 2 or 3 weeks ago I had a dream about a mountain lion , me and my brother where alonenin the woods and the the mountain lion came we were scared at first but I turned out to be nice and it followed and protected us :3 then we ended up in this mansion and
part of my family was in differnt parts of the room then me and my bro followed tge mountain luon into a part of the room witg other animals it was a cute dream :3. I doubt that counts dor a tigeer though its the only wild cat dream I had.
Honestly i wasnt suprised by the tiger, i like cats and have became friends with 1 on a trip to Africa. The workers there wanted me to look after him for a while and we became good friends.
In my dream were hinting a white tiger but I wasn’t really the one wanting to hunt. Finally we see it coming and it’s the cutest most hopeless white tiger cub and I can’t let them hurt it… It was a bad dream but I wasn’t being chased by the tiger. I was protecting it… Anyone have any ideas as to what that may mean?
It could be that someone around you needs protection and you are in the position to either hurt them or protect them. Your instinct is to help and protect but peers may pressure you into harming this person in someway.
Had a dream that I was climbing a building during the day in an old city slum. People were chanting for me to make it to the top. When I reached the top I was to be awarded by tattoos that would be received on my left forearm. At the top I saw a friend of mine with his forearms interlocked with a golden bhudda statue receiving a coy fish scaled tattoo on his left forearm by what I believe to be a veiled woman. As I looked down to see how high I was I saw a river with a bangel Tiger in it climbing out of the water. As I blinked my eyes to take another look I found myself climbing out of the water. When I got out of the water I was completely dry and my friend was standing in front of me with a fresh new left forearm coy fish scaled tattoo. It’s wired but the sun was shining so bright. Thoughts about this anyone?
When i was meditating and reached the heart chakra,i literally phased out,something that never happened before to this extent,i saw a tiger that approached me slowly, the tiger’s face was very close to mine,its nose touched my nose,then out of no where we start wrestling and boom somehow the tiger is infused inside of me.i sort of have an idea about that ,but id appreciate a good explanation.plus im seeing tiger pictures and tiger related topics everywhere.
Thanks,
Well, that’s likely your spirit animal and just maybe you needed a boost of action in your life. Now that you have the courage and motivation, whatever that action you want to take is, you’ll surely be doing it now. Was it a white, orange, or beige tiger?
If you have more aggression after the infusion of tiger energy, meditate more and be in the water and listen to calming music. Tame the beast.
This helped me in the interpretation of my art coursework; relation between humans and animals. Thanks a ton! :D
