Dream Symbol
lion

Protectiveness, aggression. Ruling, trying to control people or situations, being in charge. Strength of character. Quiet strength—meaning strength without the need for action. Commanding respect through personal character, rather than through violence, manipulation, or control games. Dreaming of this animal can represent:

• Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way
• Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this
• Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)

For more clues, pay attention to what the animal was doing or any particular characteristic that stood out.
