Stalking tiger

A tiger moving in cover — a single decisive predator approaching unseen.

A stalking tiger in a dream is the dream's image of a single decisive predator approaching unseen. The tiger does not chase; it gets close enough for one movement to finish the matter. The dream brings the tiger when something in your life — a piece of news, a decision being made elsewhere about you, a competitor's preparation — is already much closer than the surface of the day would suggest. A tiger noticed in cover at the right distance is the dream affirming that the threat has been seen in time. A tiger noticed only when it has already moved is the dream noting that the approach was completed without your awareness, and the choice is no longer about prevention.
