Below you will see a series of quotes. Each quote represents the meaning
of a particular dream(these are all dreams where the meaning is understood
totally). For instance one dream may have meant that the dreamer was having
trouble at work. In that case the quote may simply be "There is a bad atmosphere at
work". Some information is included about which dream symbols were included
in the dream(within the squares brackets). Often a sample dream is included
which shows you how the dream interpretation was reached.

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of lions in dreams?
Lions tend to symbolise moments of real fear linked to someone. E.g.
"I saw my ex boyfriend the other day and he just blanked me. He is someone
I always try to avoid at all costs"[Dream symbol - lion]
"I am having trouble with my sisters friend. I would like to tell her
to behave better but she is quite intimidating"[Dream symbol - lion]
"We have taken out a court order. I just fear that it may turn my step
daughter against us if my husbands ex gets her way"[Dream symbol - lion]
Lions can be linked to moments when you have faced real danger. E.g.
"I had a very serious incident driving yesterday. I could have died or
been disabled"[Dream symbol - Raja the Jasmines tiger from Aladdin]
Lions can also link to people who are acting fiercely. E.g.
"My daughter really was not prepared to talk about me she just looked
at me with a fierce and cold look"[Dream symbol - Lion]
"I believe that the dream was a premonition of my fiance who acted in a way that surprized me. She flew into such a rage and was throwing things around."[Dream symbol - 3 Lions jump into room]
Lions can also link to your specific fears connected with life in general
and problems you would like to avoid. E.g.
"I think my son is being bullied at school. I am trying to sort the problem
out and avoid it happening again."[Dream symbol - Lion]
"I really had to leave that job. There were just too many awkward and difficult moments. I was tense all the time."[Dream symbol - Lion that cannot get at me]
"I know that in compiling the report I want to totally avoid using just
the one source. I do not want to be accused of just lifting data from other
sources. I do not think its a major immediate problem though"[Dream
symbol - walk past tiger that is sat]
"I am aware that my dog is very ill. I want him to avoid suffering. I
may have to put him down"[Dream symbol - trying to protect my baby from
tiger]
Lions can symbolise someones power and strength and overwhelming courage.
E.g.
"As king I am sure that my soon to be born son will be a great and powerful
leader with the courage of a lion"[Dream symbol - lion]
Lions can symbolise Your own rage and bad temper. E.g.
"I feel very touchey at the moment. I lose my temper at the slightest
provocation "[Dream symbol - tiger inside my house]
"I lost my temper for no reason yesterday. I regret it now. "[Dream symbol - tiger sprints past me]
----------------------------------------
DREAM TIP : The fact is that dreams represent your thoughts. So simply
work the process in reverse. Look for evidence of your thoughts in your dreams.
If for instance the day before was very stressful then look for evidence of
that stress. Exactly which symbols could represent that stress.

SAMPLE DREAM
---------------------------------------
THE DREAM - I was closing a door and a lion barged in sending me in a sprint.
THE REALITY The night before the dreamer shouted at his son. He had just told him to go to bed yet he had immediately got out again. The dreamers wife pointed out that he had just got out of bed to give his parents a hug. The dreamer said that he didn’t care but realized that this looked ugly. He told himself to go up to his sons room and hug him. But he allowed too long to pass and so missed the opportunity.
THE INTERPRETATION Dreams will tend to concentrate on key thoughts and feelings. Often these will be very easy to spot in real life. Yet dreams are often very symbolic. This dream does not mention the incident the night before explicitly at all. Yet its obvious that the dream seems linked.
Tigers should be easy to spot as symbols. Look for some incident or thought which involves tiger like behavior or tiger like people. Its a simple metaphor. Its saying that someone was as ferocious as a tiger. In this case the dreamer recognized that his own behavior had been 'ugly' the night before. He had lost his temper snapping at his own son. We think through incidents the day before. In this case the dreamer spotted his own mistakes and would in future attempt to learn to do things better.
What could the sprint mean in the dream. It obviously has some relavance to the situation. Maybe he is placing himself in his sons shoes and his sprint represents a dislike for his fathers temper. A more obvious meaning is that he realized that he should have sprinted up them stairs and given his son a hug. He lost the opportunity because he didn’t move quickly enough. It may alternatively show that the incident happened so quickly that the dreamer did not have time to respond. We cannot know exactly what a symbol means. Yet we can think through ideas.
Symbolic Meanings
SPRINT : "The dreamer should have acted quicker and run up the stairs and made up with his son. He lost his opportunity"
TIGER : "The dreamer realized that he lost his temper unecessarily. "
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I lost my temper with my son yesterday. I shouted at him to get back to bed. He was only getting up to give me and my wife a hug. It was ugly. I told myself to go and make up but left it too late. I missed my opportunity"

---------------------------------------
THE DREAM - I don’t really remember everything from this dream but it
starts off as a happy dream and then ends with three deaths. This dream is
really weird and not that clear so try to follow? At first everything in my
dream seems happy then a person decides to commit suicide because things are
too much for him (I don’t know who this person is he is just a random character)
then his friend also suicides when he finds out about it(he hesitates for
a short while then commits suicide). And then the friend of the other person
(who is Kramer from Seinfeld) also suicides by diving into the ocean from
a boat. And then his friend who is a little bit retarded calls his name out
and shoots into the ocean with a shotgun to get his friends attention. And
for the first 2 deaths my emotions were sad and frightened and depressed but
for the last suicide all I could think about was how stupid the friend is
for shooting into the water.
Then I get chased by a tiger (specifically Raja the Jasmin’s tiger form Aladdin)
and I am so deeply frightened he is going to kill me or disable me. I ran
away and I try to outsmart him by running in and out of places but that doesn’t
work cause he always finds me.
Finally I "wake up" in my dream (and I really think that I have woken up)
and I tell myself to write down the dream (which I did too right after I REALLY
woke up). so I’m writing everything down from the dream and suddenly my mom
comes in and I am mad at her and yell so she leaves. Then I look back down
at me paper to continue writing and it turns out that I have messed up everything
I wrote (the story written in the wrong order on both sides of the page)
THE REALITY The day before the dreamer decided to give up learning to drive.
He made a serious mistake and almost caused an accident.
THE INTERPRETATION Dreams will often process through important incidents and
your dream will be an assessment of your own response. In this case its easy
to guess at what this dream means as the day before something major did happen
and so the dream could very easily be about that.
Each of the symbols replays aspects of this near accident the day before.
The short hesitations between the first and second suicides mimics and replays
the short hesitation when the dreamer followed what his mother told him to
do - even though it was almost an act of suicide.
The suicide symbolises the simple fact that he was doing something suicidal.
It was a manouvre that was bound to fail. After all its a common phrase to
say "that was suicidal" when you mean its bound to end in failure.
Kramer reinforces this feeling within this dreamer. He realises that he acted
exactly like Kramer and just did not think.
The tiger could symbolise the anger of his father(a formidable foe) as he
yelled from the back seat or he could symbolise the fear and threat of death.
Its difficult to say excactly.
Guns are often symbols of logic and arguments. A gun here could symbolise
the dreamers wish to point this out to his parents. That what his mother said
was stupid and suicidal. But pointing this out is obviously pretty silly and
pointless(just like in the dream).
The final part also mimics reality. The dreamer messed up when his mother
started to interfere.
Symbolic Meanings
FOLLOWING : "The dreamer followed in exactly the same way in real life
- and did something without thinking"
GUN : "Guns are about blame and perhaps indicate the way that the dreamer
was trying to point out why he did this - he was trying to blame his mother
"
HESITATE : "The slight hesitation replays the exact moment when the dreamer
hesitated for a second before following what his mother told him"
KRAMER FROM SEINFELD : "He is a stupid character who does something without
thinking - in making a serious driving mistake he was acting like Kramer"
SUICIDE : "The dreamer had made a suicidal mistake which nearly caused an
accident "
TIGER : "The dreamer fears the tiger like he fears a road traffic accident.
That will similarly disable or kill him"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "The day before the dream I almost had a serious accident learning
to drive. I have now completely given up. I was stupid in following exactly
what my mother said. She told me to swap lanes when it was obviously suicidal.
it’s pointless pointing out the error afterwards. I just followed what she
said without questioning"
