Tigers are closely associated with temper, because they’re known for being ferocious. Tiger dreams can follow after situations where you lose your temper or get into a ferocious argument. Perhaps you need to be ferocious in order to get your point across or to motivate, including motivating yourself. Or perhaps someone is ferocious toward you. Along this line, a tiger can symbolize someone harsh or severe. You might be too harsh and severe with yourself. Tigers are fierce and powerful. As a dream symbol they can represent an aspect of yourself—your inner strength and potency, especially. “Tiger” is used to describe people who are highly competitive and dominate opponents. They have the “eye of the tiger.” Tigers pounce when the time is right and opportunity presents itself. They stalk and camouflage and have keen instincts. See: Games, Sports Tigers are territorial. They take no guff. They are proud and noble, virile and seductive. Do these qualities and characteristics apply to yourself or someone you know? Is it a characterization of your ego? See: Egos A caged tiger in a dream might indicate you’re being held back. You can’t show your true strength, or don’t have freedom to roam. You need to be free of your constraints, whether physical or personal. You need challenge and adventure. See: Cages Containing your temper is another possibility for the symbolism of a caged tiger. It’s a part of yourself you deliberately hold back. A tamed tiger has similar associations with taming part of yourself. A tiger can symbolize a dangerous or potentially life-threatening situation, because if you encounter a tiger in the wild you are probably in deep trouble. Tigers are known for tearing prey to shreds. In the figurative sense, you can be torn to shreds when you make a mistake, get caught doing something wrong, or take on something you can’t handle, for example. See: Attacking A white tiger is a powerful symbol, often for the protective side of yourself. A tiger cub can symbolize a young child—your “little tiger.” See: Children Be sure to read: Leopard, Lion.
