dear Avia
I have had several dreams about lions.
Lions coming into my house (MANY of them)
They come in through windows and doors.
I have to leave but not immediately.
They are not malevolent. They are not coming to ‘get’ me.
They are just there, in my house.

This was OK, till a friend phoned me and said:

She came to visit me, and there were lions everywhere, all around the house, on balconies etc. She was initially concerned about their presence, but relaxed because I treated them as perfectly natural in my house – almost like pets.
(I advise Claire on a business basis)
Many people refer to me as a lioness. They see me as strong in business, protective of my staff, yet a leader.
All my atrological ‘houses’ are ‘in Leo’. People often guess my star sign is Leo. Yet I am a cancer – very home loving.
My home is very important to me. I am very happy with my current home.
what do you think, please?

I had a dream about a Lion. It roared. Before that people were being shot and taking a number. These people had to register to get killed. many were lined up with children their. I know this has something to do with prophesy.

Hello,
I was meditating,and coming out of the blue forest, a red flaming lion suddenly attacked me. I wasn`t scared, but i saw it biting and cheweng me, so i was shocked(and came out of the meditation). When I went back, I was prepared to meet it, so even, when it tried to attack me, he couldn`t. So we went by the road and up a mountain, until we reached a flowing river. I asked, why the lion had attacked me, and it said, that it was in pain. After that he went to the river and when i hugged it, it started to die. I tried to heal it, but it died and while i was crying i saw a yellow lion near me and the red lion in the river vanishing into yellow sparkles.
I still havent figured out what the whole thing meant, but i somehow feel like something is gone(allthough death is transformation).

Why do sensei in Kung-fu use lions? Where can I find the picture of the tatoo sensei’s get in the ceremony of the iron pot when they make their status official?

Hello.i wonder if you have any thoughts on the following dream.I dreamed that i had two White lions as pets!they were very playfull although because of their strength during play they cause me some minor scratches.they were permanently trying to eat my real pets (my two white cats!)but i kept interfering so no damage was done.
i am aware of a lot of the information on symbolism of lions (strenth,purity etc..)to traditional explanations (legal matters,confict etc..).however i dont have anything on White lions.
any thoughts,comments,information would be greately apreciated.
with kind regards
petros
p.s. forgive my spelling…

Hi Lani,

I’m fascinated by the “yin-yang” elements and the seeking of balance between the two hemispheres of energy your dream represents.

Lions in alchemical symbology represent the sun – your dream scene takes place ‘neath the observing full moon.

This holds symbolism of prime dualities:

Night/Day
Black/White
Sun/Moon
Dark/Light
Above/Below
Earth/Sky

Etc, etc. Additionally, a Lion/solar emblem paired with a full moon speaks symbolically of a need to be forthright, courageous and oustpoken in your strength (lion) while there may be an urging to be reserved, introverted, or keep the light within you in hiding (moon influence).

Mountains in our dreams symbolize conquering, overcoming, hard work, willpower, and ascending above petty circumstances. Climbing the Mountain implies hard work in learning a new skill. Descending the Mountain implies stepping back from a situation, taking time to think about your actions, getting a second opinion. A Mountain range in your dream represents a new adventure, and is a message encouraging expansion in your life.

Trees in dreams are symbolic of connection, communication, and a deep sense of groundedness.

I would encourage you to observe the meanings of these various symbols within that “yin-yang” context.

What polar opposites might you identify with in your psyche that either need to be mounted(harkening to the dream mountain symbolism)?

What kind of deep roots or connections (recruiting the tree symbolism) can be drawn between the opposites?

Namaste,
A.

I’m sorry – I left out the word Moon – there was a full moon in the dream – sorry
