Tiger Wants to Devour Me
Hello Marsha,
Last night I dreamed the following:
A tiger came to devour me. He didn’t. Instead, he kept me afraid for a long time. He was like a tiger, but also a man. We spent time together in what seemed like a living room and I kept planning my escape. I managed to sneak away a fork and put it in my back pocket. I kept it there for when I saw that I would need it. I imagined I could use it as a weapon and poke out an eye or something the minute he attacked me.
I managed to escape for a while, but he pursued me.
Do you think this dream has meaning?

Dear T.O.F.
The symbols point a direction:
Tiger = fierce attack, false authority, evil
Devour me = destroy me
Spent time together in living room = spent time in an area of your life
Fork = junction, separating away from
Back pocket = hidden and ready to use if necessary
After inserting the symbolic meanings in the dream, and paraphrasing, the interpretation could be as follows:
There has been a fierce attack on you, possibly by a false authority/or from someone with authority over you that has come at you. This is someone you have spent time with, in an area of your life. You are very aware of the problem and contemplate ways to escape it. You decide you can always separate away from the person if necessary, and are ready to do this, if need be. Even though you are able to avert the attacks for a while, it just keeps coming.
Like your last dream titled “Boss said Too Cold” this dream also describes a season of you enduring betrayal by fierce attack from someone who is supposed to be an authority over you. This also speaks of your desire to escape the situation.
Again, I believe the Lord is giving you these dreams as He is wanting to do some inner healing in you in this area of life.
