What does dreaming about The Lion mean?

Dreaming of a lion is about overcoming emotional difficulties. It is telling you that you are more powerful than you think and that you have a lot of influence over others. You may need to exercise some restraint in your own personal and social life

Feline: The cat family can represent a female, you or a person close, or a situation that might traditionally be thought of as a female responsibility. It can sometimes suggest chasing a love that is not returned.

Camouflage: The Lion can represent someone hiding their true feelings or a situation where nothing is what it appears to be. It can sometimes suggest someone hiding from or not getting help with depression or anxiety.

Discord: When we see The Lion we should consider that it may be a warning or refer to an argument. You could be feeling threatened or intimidated – just relax and call on your spirit animal to guide you.

The Lion can represent missed opportunities, the thrill of the chase, the challenges we face and how we face our obstacles in life.

You need to limit the amount of things you are taking on to a manageable amount. There is no point in agreeing to do things if you can’t give them the time and attention they deserve.
