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. Imagine the feelings and ideas that the presence of the tiger triggered in your dream, and in waking life. Learn from what it would be like to adopt a “tiger-like” attitude in order to tackle the challenges you’re facing.
Dream interpretation: Having a bad dream about a tiger
Being chased by a tiger in a dream denotes how you’re trying to run away from your own emotions or desires. The tiger could represent anger or sexual desires that feel like they are so strong, they could destroy the person they are directed to or that is experiencing them. The presence of a tiger in your dream could reveal anger felt towards someone or circumstances that have a negative impact on your life. Dreaming of a tiger chasing you is a sign that a situation or an event in your life is having a profound emotional impact, but is difficult to apprehend or assimilate.
If the tiger is terrorizing you in your dream, think about what you’re trying to avoid so strongly in your waking life by fear that it could destabilize you or is too overwhelming to handle. Dreaming of killing a tiger could mean that you’re in the process of tackling detrimental attitudes or habits. Such a dream about your tiger totem could indicate that change is on its way, but requires strength and courage.

i had a dream were I saw one of my old pets turn into a tiger. it started to walk away from me but kept looking back at me as if to say ‘follow me’ which I did. I eventually managed to pick it up **it was a tiger cub** but when I did I saw a fully grown tiger on top of a roof. the tiger cub jumped out of my arms and ran to the adult tiger. both looked at me and slowly walked away constantly looking back then vanished.
I’m a bit confused as to what my tigers meant. There was the first tiger that was orange and black stripes relaxing under a school bus, while my daughter & I were walking. She was a bit behind me, so I whispered, “don’t run, walk to me!” Bc I feared the tiger. She ran to me anyway, so as soon as I picked her up, I jumped into the bus and the tiger ran and placed his arm into the crack of the door and scratched my arm softly. I’m not sure if it meant to, but I was most defiantly scared of it. I then noticed behind the bus a lady with a cane or stick, calling for a dark brown and black striped tiger and the Orange tiger. I then realized they were trained tigers that had escaped from its owner. Not sure if I didn’t except it, due to the fear of a wild animal or if I was running from it due to my life circumstances.
Sounds to me like you are over protective if your daughter, the tigers were probably excited a d wanted to play….well thats atleast what I can make sense of
Last night I had a dream someone holding a tiger by a long rope and couldn’t control it from leaving. Going into what seemed tall grass flooded with water. I could see the tigers head. Then I took the leash and the tiger ran towards me. I remeber being scared and the tiger just walked back and fourth near me. Wtf? A little help here.
Hahhahahah
Hi, I’m not sure if the tiger is my spirit animal but i was thinking it might be and then last night i said to my spirit animal “i welcome you into my dreams” then i had a dream that i was walking around my school with a tiger called char and when i called it, it came up to me and put its head in my hand and i petted it. I’m not sure if the tiger is my spirit animal or i dreamed about it only because i was thinking about it. Someone help?
Dear Kayla,
You are truly right Tiger is your Power animal and If you should choose to do this you can speak to Tiger-Char as a pier or a friend. Char will very much appreciate your understandings and Char will assist you when you call upon this wonderful being.

I did some meditation. I found myself in a forest or a jungle, tall grass up to my shoulder bordered a dirt path. After wandering the path for what seemed like fifteen minutes I find a circle with short flattened grass and a tiny pool in the center. I was told to sit down by the video helping me. I sit at the other side in front of the tiny pool. I wait. I called out few times and then something started to move. I only caught glimpses but I saw orange and black stripes circling me. I made eye contact once with a yellow eye before what I believe was the tiger, ran off.
Dear B.B.,
You were meeting your Tiger Spirit Guide. No need to fear as fear can startle a Spirit guide. It is the emotion that can be overwhelming to these spirit guides. Non the less, you should once again return to this thought in Meditation and request to formally meet your Tiger Spirit Guide in a positive emotion. Once you achieve contact ask the guide what he or she wished to be called. This will create a formal contact for you for the future which allows you to call on this wonderful being even when you are not in mediation.
Blessings,

From last couple of years i have started seeing tiger chasing me whereever I go & i am trying to run & hide from them to live.
After reading this article, i feel this related to my anger. I am short tempered and I am scared of my anger that if i direct it to someone, that person may severely get hurt & it may disturb my personal life as i may be exposed to criminal proceedings.
thats why i had started let go attitude & try to supress the anger from time to time.
i dont know if this is true interpretation.
They give everyone the freaking tiger!
Nope not all
dont say that to the lovely beautiful wonderful etc., tiger! <3
I react fast to situations without looking at them and I have a willpower for my personal strength. I usually feel catlike instincts as well.
no you dont what the heck, nobody feels cat like instincts unless theyre psycho
