Tiger in a dream
In folk belief, a tiger in a dream stands for your own strength and courage before a challenge you can master.
Old dream books see the tiger as a picture of strength, resolve and pride. In folk belief a dream about a tiger comes when a task lies ahead that looks big but is in fact just your size. A calm tiger is read as self-assurance, a roaring one as a loud wish to prove yourself. If it frightened you in the dream, it is said only that you are excited about something new. The tiger is believed to visit the dreams of people who have more courage than they think.
