Lion
Courage, authority, aggression
Pig
Abundance, indulgence, earthiness
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.
Pig
Pigs in dreams can represent abundance and prosperity (piggy bank symbolism), earthiness and groundedness, or overindulgence and gluttony. In Chinese culture, pigs represent wealth, fortune, and honest work. In Western symbolism, pigs are sometimes associated with sloth and excess. The context of the dream determines which meaning applies — a happy pig on a farm differs greatly from a pig in filth.
