Hi,
I had a dream today where I had some fellow men and we were preparing for going somewhere and then decided to choose our rides. The fellow men all took a horse and I was unknowingly guided towards a tiger. All the fellow men spoke to me that you know it’s hard to control a tiger and how will u direct it but I spoke without hesitation that once chosen my ride I won’t give up and direct him according to me. The tiger stayed there patiently for me to come and ride him and I was almost on his back just when I just got aware I was dreaming and got too excited maybe and woke myself up. I also found out today in this very forum that tiger is my animal spirit guide. Any suggestions and comments are most welcome
That is a really great dream! I’m excited for you!
While I was receiving a healing, I had this experience where I saw a tiger ripping to shreds the things that had held me back in the past, old rules and paradigms and mental programming from abuse. The tiger left nothing but shreds, like the old master was gone, done with. A tiger is powerful and is a powerful killer so there are no ifs about whether the job is done or not, I love the tiger.
There is a selfishness in the Tiger’s solitude, It takes orders from only itself. Manifesting a clear path towards allowing success is the same. Tell no one but yourself your dreams and hopes and follow your own path to your destiney, which will cross your path fear nothing and take what is yours selfishly and lucid!
this is so awesome that my spirit animal is a tiger because i had a dream that i was like 34 and this box showed up at my house and i opened it and it was a white tiger.
I had a dream I was a white tiger and there were two other tigers and we fought to death I got so mad I killed them or killed them on a pillar and the fell to death
