Tiger
Raw power, unpredictability, courage
Yellow
Intellect, joy, caution
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.
Yellow
Yellow represents mental clarity, optimism, joy, and caution. A bright yellow environment suggests intellectual stimulation and happiness. However, yellow can also indicate caution (yellow traffic lights) or cowardice. Faded or dirty yellow may suggest illness, decay, or betrayal. In many Eastern traditions, yellow is sacred — representing wisdom and the solar plexus chakra of personal power.
