Lion
Courage, authority, aggression
Money

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.
Money
Money in dreams represents self-worth, personal power, and the energy of exchange. Finding money may indicate discovering hidden talents or self-worth. Losing money reflects fear of loss or diminished self-esteem. Counting money might indicate evaluating your personal assets — not just financial, but emotional and spiritual.
