Lion

When you are confronted with the king of the jungle it has come to you for a specific reason. Lions are powerful dream omens that bring the person’s attention to their inner courage, justice, power, strength, wisdom, pride, dignity, dominating and authority. If you are fighting a lion are signs of challenging something in your life that has power and fear over you. The lion may emerge in your dream to project your predatory feelings such as aggression and domination.

Dreaming of this noble beast suggests that honor and recognition lie in your future. You may accumulate great power or fame, and you will be very happy.

For you maidens, the dream of a lion indicates you will marry a powerful and strong man; for you married women, it suggests you will have a healthy boy.

This can be the devil, Ps. 10:9. A lion can also reference Jesus, Ps. 17:12. Watch what the lion does in the dream to determine the meaning. If the lion is intimidating and aggressive it is symbolic of a spiritual enemy in your life, 1 Pet. 5:8

This king of the jungle can represent harnessing your passions as a type of strength. As a feline, it can suggest a tendency to avoid domestication or conformity to express the power that comes from fearless expression. As a protector, it can be tied to the idea of parenting and your idea of love and passion learned from being a parent or through parenting. Its association with the astrological sign Leo as an Archetype shows it to be a highly creative symbol, where the lion often appears to explore issues related to self-expression and artistic expression. As a homonym, it can suggest lies. See also Animals.

A lioness in a dream represents ignorance, pride, affectation and perfidy. Seeing a lion without being seen, means escape from harm one may fear, attaining knowledge and growing in wisdom.

If one fights with a lion and eats or snatches off a piece of his flesh, bones or hair in a dream, it means that he will attain success, leadership, wealth or conquer his enemy. Sleeping beside a lion in a dream means safety from illness, or protection from one’s enemy. If one sees a lion inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will gain the upper hand, or it could represent longevity and a high position in the world. A lion entering a town in a dream means a plague that will strike such a town.
