This will be take a bit of exposition as the rest of the dream happened before the tiger appeared, but I believe it’s all important and somehow relevant.

I dreamed I was in Germany, visiting some friends for a party. The whole dream, there were foreigners all over, being loud and crowding the place, but I was doing my best to just ignore them and have fun with my friends. But it was very difficult.

At one point, we had left my friend’s apartment where we were staying and were in the lobby of the building when I realized I had forgotten something. He told me which appartment it was so I rushed down to it, having to weave endlessly through the crowds of foreigners, clogging up the halls and stairwells, but I eventually found it. Once in the appartment, and as I was looking for, I think it was a receipt of some kind for the plane ticket my friend had agreed to pay us back for as he wanted to pay for our travel expenses, I heard a single knock at the back door, and saw that it was open. Concerned, I went over and opened it further to see what it was, when I saw a small fawn lying at the doorstep. It was timid, but unafraid of me, and it didn’t take much convincing before I was able to pet it. It seemed happy for the attention, but it seemed to want something. “Aha!” I thought, “it’s thirsty!” I rushed over and grabbed a dog bowl full of water and took it over to him. There wasn’t much left, but the fawn seemed very grateful and satisfied with it. When I got back to my friend in the lobby, I told him about the fawn and how his back door was open and he seemed surprised, but the table of foreigners next to us began to grow surly and started staring menacingly towards us, taking our attention away as we felt we had to stand our ground.

Not long later, a horrible scene unfolded when we were at a local park, sitting at a bench waiting for a friend to arrive before heading to the airport for our trip home. A large crowd of foreigners were playing basketball on the court, all of them either playing, watching the game, or threatening local children who dared to express interest in joining. I mentioned to someone about the noise and unnecessary aggressiveness of the foreigners playing and he told me: “You want to see how bad they really are, look at the goal”. I looked up at the goal to see a cruelty that made my blood boil. They had tied a dog to the top of the the goal as some sort of mock-goal (akin to what they do to dogs in some places of the world) and as it struggled in vain to free itself, it looked on in horror and confusion at the mass of people throwing themselves around in the game below it. Every time it would so much as move slightly out of the position they had it in, a man would hit it with a stick and move it back. I stared at this awful scene and stewed in my anger as I contemplated how I might butcher every one of these monstrous people and free the dog, but there was nothing I could think to do against such a mass of people to stop them. Then, as I looked on this scene, my eye caught a tiger, huge and dark reddish orange, running passed the park, just outside the outer fence. I was astonished and wondered to myself if my anger had somehow manifested this great beast, and I also wondered if it might would then turn on the basketball players and slaughter them as I so badly wished to. But it just ran passed the park, in all its grace, and seemed to try to ignore the scene entirely. As I stood up and watched it run by, I pointed and called out “Tiger! Tiger!” and a few people took notice and saw it as well, but most did not. Even a local man next to me did not see it when I pointed right to it as it ran by. He didn’t believe me, and just stared at me in his incredulity as I pointed at the huge, running tiger in vain until it disappeared over the horizon.

Then I woke up.

Hello!

After working 15-18 hour days for nights, weeks and months on end, I fell asleep at the wheel of my car several years ago.

In my sleep, in my dreams, I saw a white bengal tiger with blue eyes, teeth bared, running through the air towards my windshield. I was so scared, I screamed out in my sleep and woke myself up. I had drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic, and was headed straight for two semi trucks driving towards me.

Had the white tiger not revealed itself in my dreams, I could be dead. I have my own ideas/interpretations, but would love yours!

Hello spirit animals.com!, 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. 😛

Recently I’ve begun to be more into totem and spirit animals. I actually though the bat was my totem, as I’ve always loved them and been drawn to them. Even going to a cavern recently with my family. I started reading about bat totems, it made sense for me and I emersed myself into learning about them more. But then I remembered something that happened to me awhile back. I was at a family get together and some relative confronted me about something, passively attacking me verbally. I did something I normally wouldn’t, and stood up for myself. As I did that I got an immediate image of a tiger growling and preparing to attack. There was no thought to it. It just appeared in my head as I was telling her off. It was an amazing,, almost out of body experience. I quickly dismissed it believing that *everyone thinks their totem is something like a tiger” and went on focusing on bats. Then today I took a nap, and dreamt I was in my childhood home. I was looking for something and saw a bunch of toy and stuffed animal tigers. In the dream I looked at them and knew they weren’t toys, they were totems. I said aloud, “I thought my totem was a bat”. I wasn’t even thinking about tigers or that incident before falling asleep. Now I’m wondering if I can have more than one or if I’m being an idiot lol and not accepting Tiger as my spirit animal. Rabbits are an animal I’ve had dreams about and have literally shown up on my door step. Is it possible to have many? How do I know which is which?

I was meditating one morning while listening to a soft melow tune. I wrote down the event after because its the first time iv experienced it. I remember I was in the forest, & there was something running through the bushes ahead of me. I followed and ended up on a empty beach where I encountered a tiger & one of my friends that passed away 4 months ago. They were walking towards me & both stopped, then the tiger came close to me and gazed into my eyes for about 30 seconds, I remember the tiger was dark orange with with cherry red eyes & had gold streaks through them. The tiger then turned around & started walking away with my friend.. They fadded away in seconds! Can you please tell me what that means? It felt so good to see my friend again it felt real!

I’ve had dreams occasionally of a tiger killing me, even though this is one of my totems. I wonder if being killed is the same as the symbolism of being attacked.
