Have you seen Rocky Balboa movies? My favorite song is Eye of the tiger written by Survivor. I’m proud to be a bengal tiger and my companion is a wolfdog. Don’t let nobody change who you really are. What kind of tiger are you?

Maybe i’m going crazy but I had the same dream last night.
Unfortunately, this interpretation seems to be mostly made up by the author and has no basis in anything.
I had a dream once that I was making a birthday cake, and it turned into a tiger. It was pretty awesome! :)
As for weather or not it had any spiritual implications, I don’t know but I like to think so. At the time, I was standing up to my controlling mother and coming into my own as an adult. I woke up from the dream feeling awe-stricken and proud.
I got bear and tiger
My spirit animal was a Wolf and a tiger as a companion. yay! i love wolves and big cats!
nigga you mean
You don’t have to brag you meanie
I do not know how this works. It is 1 a.m. I just woke up from one of my re-occurring dreams. It is always with my family ( mom,dad,grandma,ect.) Other people have joined in throughout different parts of my life growing up but me and my family are main characters. We will all be at a get together having a great time. Then i notice the animals when i was younger it would be more animals as i have gotten older they have thinned down to the one. but the first one i can remember i looked outside and there would be bears and wolves, and tigers and lions just walking around my house. All the doors would be open. Screen doors separating us from the animals. I would be running around shutting doors and everyone would act like nothing was going on.Just hanging out sitting in the kitchen not phased. I would tell them and they would open the door back up to let air in and i would be panicked trying to save us all. By the time the animals would break through i would wake up. but i gotta say the animals where never really viscous just wanting in pushing the doors if that makes since. Tonight we where in a house. The whole family even my grandma that has passed away. when i noticed a tiger in a cage. Everyone was comfortable sitting around the tiger. I was terrified he would get out. I stood up and walked in the bedroom with my three year old and hear my grandma say come play with him he is really friendly. So i sneaked out the back door. Sure enough they brought the tiger outside. It was just walking around but i was scared. My dad said give me the baby as i was getting into my car to hide or get away, and he wouldn’t hand me the baby like he couldn’t hear me. Then at that very moment the tiger walked up to the open door not trying to hurt me pretty much put it’s head in my lap, but i was so scared i woke up and could not move. then i pulled myself together typed my dream in and it sent me here. I am an adult shouldn’t i be getting over this i started having these dreams at 6 and i am 33 now that’s a long time.
Why are you so afraid? Try embracing them and see what reaction you get. There is always a message in a dream like yours that you are not allowing yourself to face. Look up all the animals involved and see if you can figure out your own message. Animals come in peace.
Thank you for that
Are you kidding?! 6…33?! Lol… That’s the same number if you reduce the master number. Dig deeper into the number patterns in your life…I feel you may find more answers there…no one can interpret that but you.
