Author interpretation

Each paragraph unfolds a distinct scene, state, or shade of meaning. Read them in sequence so the interpretations stay clear.

01

The lion, like any wild animal, symbolizes sexual intercourse, but as a predator, and even more so from the cat family, the lion symbolizes increased sexual sensitivity and excitability.

02

If a woman dreams that she is being chased by a lion, she dreams of a connection with a temperamental man who will humiliate her in bed and in everyday life, such is her ideal of a real man.

03

If a woman enters into sexual contact with a lion, she is dissatisfied with her sexual partner and does not experience an orgasm with him. In sex, she shows sadistic tendencies. She may not be satisfied with the whole arrangement of her life at all and may embrace the desire for change.

04

If it is a lion, you want to transfer your dissatisfaction with your sex life to a child, or you want to have a child if there is none.

05

If a man enters into sexual contact with a lioness, this indicates his strong masochistic aspirations.

06

If you identify yourself with a lion in a dream, you are sad about unfulfilled desires, the impossibility of accomplishing what you set out to do, and you are disappointed in the state of affairs.

07

But if this lion hunts or devours prey, you are looking for new sensations and are ready to realize your accumulated sexual desires in the most exotic and unusual ways.

08

If a lion attacked a man, he should expect complications due to his love affairs.

09

A fight with another lion portends you a lot of new and unknown sensations.

10

A meeting with lion cubs portends changes in your sexual inclinations and behavior up to complete cooling.

11

A hand lion or a lion on a leash speaks of your strongly suppressed desires and fantasies.
