We come out of the alley into a crowd of people. The lion is further away now and I almost forget about it. There are so many people around; that I know the lion won’t attack. I have a good time and my boyfriend and I return home. As we open the door to my apartment, the lion jumps out and attacks.. I wake up feeling very scared.
Eric says: Lions in many cases represent rage, either yours or someone else’s. In your dream, you are walking with you boyfriend and the lion is close by. You are in a crowd of people and the lion is further away and doesn't seem like a threat, but the minute you return home the lion pounces out of nowhere and attacks. Back in the alley, alone with your boyfriend, you try to talk about your fear of “the lion” but he doesn't seem to think it’s an issue, he even thinks it is funny. I am afraid that your boyfriend’s temper is the issue. You are close to him, thus the two of you walking down a long alley together, and you don’t worry about his temper when there are other people around. When you are alone, things may be different. You feel his anger when the two of you are alone. The email of your dream is anonymous, so I don’t know the depth of your relationship with you boyfriend, or the extent of his anger. It may be represented by his mocking you, or passive aggressive behavior or it may be something more serious.
I think you should think seriously about the anger so near to you. It might take a third party, as simple as a family member or as serious as a professional to help your boyfriend with this anger issue. Dreams are metaphors your brain uses to communicate with you. This one is pretty clear.
For your Tarot, I pulled the Strength card, coincidentally represented by a a lion, the Wheel of Fortune card, meaning change, and the Four of Cups. The Four of Cups often shows up when you are missing something that is very obvious - it is staring you right in the face. Be strong as the Tarot advises and don't ignore what is right in front of you. Contact me if you need referrals to professional groups that can help.
William says: Thank you. That is very helpful and confirmed something I have thought about for awhile and kept finding excuses to ignore it.
