Tiger
The tiger stands for power, benefactors and fierce energy. A tiger entering your home is auspicious for authority or a precious child — even being bitten is read as good fortune.
When a tiger came down to where people lived, word of it shook the whole village. Treated as the mountain spirit's animal, it is counted among the best conception dreams, and a tiger entering the house or coming toward you is read as especially fortunate. But the tiger is also an object of fear, so being chased or hiding shifts the reading.
Readings by Situation
A tiger entering your house
The most favorable branch. As a conception dream it was read as a child of spirit and stature; otherwise it signals a powerful helper or a position of authority coming your way. For someone in business it points to growth in scale.
Riding a tiger, or a tiger following you
It means you command a great force. Read as gaining decision-making power over a hard matter or winning a superior's trust. It also carries the caution not to lose people once you have gained strength.
Being chased by a tiger or hiding from one
A sign of an opponent or pressure that feels beyond you. Tradition held that facing it rather than fleeing turns it into an opportunity; today it is a moment to check whether you are carrying a burden alone.
Seeing or holding a tiger cub
Something just begun holds the seed of growing large. As a conception dream it means a precious child; in work, a small opportunity worth raising.
Before taking a tiger dream as a conception dream, consider whether pregnancy is actually in view. Otherwise it usually reads as authority, patronage or opportunity. Meant as entertainment.
