Concentrated will — beauty that is also danger.
How sleeping changes the reading
The base reading of Tiger
A tiger in a dream is the dictionary's image of concentrated will. It is the dream image used when someone has both the appetite and the precision to take what they want — and may also be the dream noting that you have it.
A tiger watching you is rarely hostile in the dream. More often it is the dream's image of a part of yourself that has been studying a situation patiently and is about to act.
Where you often see it. A tiger at the edge of a jungle. A tiger glimpsed in tall grass. The dream uses the tiger for concentrated will — beauty that is also danger.
What it is not. A tiger is not always threat. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's beautiful, dangerous concentrated will.
Related in the dictionary. Read tiger with lion (a different power), jungle, and any scene of beauty-with-edge.
