Clothing
Identity, persona, social role
Lion
Courage, authority, aggression
Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
Lion
The lion in dreams represents courage, personal strength, authority, and pride. As the 'king of the jungle,' lion dreams often relate to leadership, dominance, or encountering a powerful force. A calm lion may represent inner strength you haven't yet recognized, while an attacking lion could symbolize a threatening authority figure or your own repressed aggression.
