Eagle
Vision, freedom, spiritual power
Tiger
Raw power, unpredictability, courage
Eagle
Eagles soar above all other birds and represent the highest aspirations of the human spirit. In Jungian analysis, the eagle is the supreme symbol of vision and the ability to see the bigger picture. In many Indigenous traditions, the eagle carries prayers to the Creator. Dreaming of an eagle may indicate a need for a broader perspective on your life or a call to tap into your higher purpose and spiritual power.
Tiger
Tigers represent raw, untamed power and primal instinct. Unlike lions which often symbolize social authority, tigers are solitary and represent individual power and fierce independence. In Chinese culture, the tiger is king of all beasts and represents courage and protection. A tiger appearing in your dream may signal that you need to harness your personal power or face a situation with courage.
