Lion
Courage, authority, aggression
Purple

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.
Purple
Purple combines the stability of blue with the energy of red, representing spirituality, royalty, wisdom, and mystical transformation. In dreams, purple often appears during spiritual growth or when higher consciousness is being accessed. Purple clothing may represent spiritual authority. A purple sky or environment suggests a dreamscape operating at a higher vibrational level than ordinary reality.
