Lion Dream Meaning — A Dream That Calls in Authority and Leadership
A lion dream is a good omen symbolizing strong authority, leadership, and luck for success, but being attacked by a lion points to guarding against a formidable rival.
Called the king of beasts, the lion symbolizes strong authority, leadership, and honor, so a lion dream is often read as a good omen foretelling a promotion or a rise to a position of leadership. A lion protecting you or standing at your side in particular is passed down as meaning you will meet a dependable patron. Psychologically, the lion is also seen as a symbol of the charisma and confidence latent within you. But being attacked or chased by a lion is read as meaning you are facing a formidable rival or a daunting responsibility.
