The king of animals embodies pride, strength, but also aggressiveness and risk. The lion is considered as a symbol of power par excellence and is found in many sayings: “in the lion’s cave” or “to fight like a lion”.

The roar of a lion is loud and imposing, no wonder that “roaring like a lion” has found its place in our vocabulary to describe someone who dominates and wants to intimidate others.

But, why dream of a lion?

This dream relates to male solar principle, strength and power, authority, fatherhood, rich personality, achievement, heart, as well as possibly self-esteem, poor judgment, self-centeredness.

The symbolism of the lion is linked to the sun and royalty. He’s an archetype of the father. The lion also symbolizes strength, channeled and controlled energy, maturity, male power, the heart and the realized man.

Interpretation of the lion dream

In most lion dreams, the lion is far from us. We see it pass or watch us. But this vision is never felt with terror, unlike that of the tiger. It is a fear imbued with respect: we sense within us this strength and this inner richness. But we still need to be careful and not want to rush anything, otherwise we will be faced with something uncontrollable.

In some big dreams, we can approach the lion, pet it, or even hug it. In this case, we found in ourselves enough confidence to approach this harmony and this force. We are able to really flourish, to act and to contribute to others.

Impressive by its power, the strength of the lion does not need demonstration! Everyone feels it and respects it. Nevertheless, we can also consider this energy as being of feminine, interior essence, and its manifestation of masculine nature, extroverted and perfectly channeled. It is a harmony and a balance between these two polarities that are mentioned here.

It is very rare that the lion is perceived negatively in dreams, provided that it is not shabby or overexcited. An aggressive and frightening lion can represent a man who abuses his power, who suddenly loses the sense of his values. If there are more than one, it may be a bad judgment relating to physical strength and male power, a bad interpretation relating to anti-male conditioning.

As a feline (cat), the lion sometimes brings a sexual connotation to the dream – the male lion is able to honor about twenty females during the day, but the lion being of a solar nature, it is rather the image of the father who is symbolized by him, the solar phallus.
