Eyes
Eyes in dreams represent perception, understanding, and the ability to 'see' truth. Losing sight may indicate denial or unwillingness to see something. Extra eyes or enhanced vision can represent heightened awareness or psychic sensitivity. The 'third eye' in dreams connects to spiritual perception.
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.
