A dream featuring your tiger animal spirit guide could tell you about your ability to overcome obstacles in life or the courage you have to demonstrate in order to defy challenges that are on your way. 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.

Hello. I had a dream that I was with my friend, my mom, and my mom’s friend. We went to the zoo but this was like no zoo I’ve ever seen. The tiger exhibit was at the top floor and it was glass all around. 3 zoo keepers ladies were doing something in the cage when the tiger got onto one of the ladies and was eating her. I looked around and was shocked I would peek every now and then. I realized that no one really payed attention. I’m very confused about this specific dream. What does this dream mean? Or anything would help ☺
Hello,
I had a dream that I recieved an application or some sort of paper with questions on it, but there was a picture on that paper that shows a jungle with a paved road and at the end, looked like a 3D picture. I see a tigers head on top on the trees with mouth wide open and i could see his canines. I was not afraid in the dream and it just looked like a dark road with tiger far into the picture waiting on top. I dont know what that means? I never ever dreamed on animals before

Hello Spirit Animals.info!, I have a question: For the last several years, I have had frequent and recurring dreams about gryphons. (Usually I can transform into one in my dream.) Why is this? Now when I was younger (about 10 or so), I liked to dream that me and my friends could turn into animals; I was able to turn into a half- (Siberian ?) tiger, half-golden eagle gryphon, and my friends could turn into a cougar and Pegasus (I think). I don’t remember all the details because it’s been awhile. Why is this dream recurring even when I’m not thinking about gryphons? Does it mean something? Thank you for reading! :) – T’awna ( Tee-on-a) M. :D
P.S. Thank you so much for your website! It has been so helpful to me!!!
Nevermind, I think I figured out what my spirit animals are! Yay!
I am very much troubled by tiger dream. I always see a tiger or two or three tigers in my dream . they reside in house. From where they come inside house looks as a part of jungle or some alike hide place looking as though a part of house which is not actually present. Tiger tries to kill me or I have to see it killing someone else. In either situation I have no way out . I have to see what is happening. Please help me to get rid of such dreams because it raises my heart rate . I have to wake up to atop palpitations.
I had a dream where for some reason I had tigers in the corner of my living room. I remember sitting there in the corner of my couch(wich is right next to where the tigers were)and all the tigers were freely walking around. Except for one of them who sat next to me and sourght of purred and wanted me to pet them. I remember thinking about how scary it was because at any moment it could just turn and attack me so I wanted to slowly get away but I didn’t and the tiger never attacked. I of course still had the fear.
Had a dreaming was scared and started to say the our father prayer but was stopped mid prayer it was right after sex with my boyfriend I was still laying on him then in the dream I looked up and through the roof (which was now glass) I saw a tiger it scared me because it stared directly at me and as my bf kissed me in real life I jumped out my dream. He also said I was shaking that’s why he kissed me. Please tell what that means
After I left from being with my boyfriend I headed home. A tiger appeared but I thought it was a house cat. Then another appeared then they started appearing all around me I was afraid at first one even scratched me and as I was trying to show my boyfriend the scratch they one tiger had a baby and this one tiger that was.really angry calmed down when I handed him his baby. Everything calmed and I wasn’t scared anymore.
i love tigers tigers have wonderful fur and they well i really like them as well as lions to
In my dream my kids and I were going to my ex’s house to get our things and move on with our life. There was a door closed and when I opened it, it was a full grow tiger behind it. I closed the door and told my kids to slowly retreat out. The tiger opened the door itself and made its way to the front room. I told the kids to quietly and slowly go out the door 1 @ a time. I took off running up the street and when I looked back my kids weren’t there, but I saw my ex’s car outside, but I was driving the car in the dream although it never showed that, I knewI was driving. When I realized I left the car out of fear, I went back that way nd it was like moving in slow motion nd an invisible force keeping me from making it to the car. I neber saw the tiger run behind me, but I could feel it was there or coming to find me. I was woke up before I found out where the tiger went and we never got our things. Ps. I never had a lisence and don’t drive, but in the dream, I’m positive I knew how and although it was my ex’s house, why was I driving his car? I never have before.
My Tiger dream last night:
I was at a very hectic party, and looking around I see people, even daughter all dressed up as Tigers.
Even the furniture, walls, and fire place. They all had tiger stripes mixed in with my favorite color lipstick colors: wine and raisin. ;)
