Lion

Sovereign warmth

What it often means

Lions in dreams reflect dignified courage — the kind that does not need to prove itself. A lion calm in your presence often mirrors a strength you have begun to inhabit.

When it tends to appear

  • When you are stepping into authority
  • During tests of courage
  • When you are finally not shrinking
