Dreaming About Tiger
What it means
A tiger usually represents raw power — passion, courage, or a force you both admire and fear. It can mark your own untamed energy, or a person or feeling that seems beautiful and dangerous at once.
In more detail
Facing the tiger calmly often reflects growing confidence in handling something intense. Running from it can mirror an instinct or desire you're trying to keep caged. A tiger at rest, watching you without threat, is one of the steadier images — power that's present but not out of control.
