Why do we have recurring dreams, and what does it mean?

Question

I have started having recurring dreams about a pack of tigers, trying to get me and my kids, i am always terrified, they sniff around us and growl, and i wake up panicked. It happens a lot all of a sudden, why tigers? and is there some underlying cause of these dreams?

Answer 1

I really believe recurring dreams have a message. Many years ago I had this dream more than 100 times. It was nighttime, raining gently, I was standing at my door with a suitcase. A car drove in, I left with the person (never knew who except it was a friend) and I was taken to a house miles away where I got out. As I walked toward the porch, the dream ended. After I was divorced, the dream stopped. Then three years later, I was with my fiance and he said he wanted to show me something. We drove down several streets and suddenly there was the house just as I'd seen it so many times in my dream. I yelled "STOP!"...and pointed at the house. My fiance got the strangest look on his face. That was what he wanted to show me. The house where he had lived....during the years I had the recurring dream. It was 24 miles from where I'd lived and I'd not met him at that time and had never seen the house before, except in my dream.

When you have recurring dreams , there is something in your life that is bothering you very much. Does not mean tigers will come after you but it could be there is something that you see that seems to be a threat to you and your family and it is bothering you more than you think.

Answer 3

Having recurring dream means you have unresolved issues.

Being attacked = insecurity

In you case, you may have some sort of insecurity in you. That is why you dream of being attacked by animals. You may ask why tigers. There are few possibilities that tiger lurked into your dream.

1. You watched a lot of animal shows, or passed by zoo and somehow Tigers got into your mind and you projected that as your fear.

2. Pack of tigers = group of animals that work together. It translates to be serious of fear. In other words, you may not have only one fear in real life. Insecurity could mean you may be worried your kids' school, along with other stuff such as studies, their friends and also many many other things. You should know better.

It happens all of a sudden may be due to stress or anxiety. Examine your recent life and see what has happened to you and you will know what those tigers represent

Answer 4

It probably means that you feel that someone or something is threatening your family. It doesn't necessarily have to be something deadly serious or life threatening, it could just be something to do with your family routine being broken or changed.
Good advice to get a decent dream book although my dreams are often so bizarre that the listed ones don't even come close!The tiger issue isn't all that relevant really, it could just be that the first time you dreamed it, you had seen a programme about tigers on TV or something as simple as that! And once you have dreamt it the one time it just stays the same.

Answer 5

There is something going on in your life which you feel threatens your family. The tigers symbolise this threat and the fact that you wake before the tigers attack means that the attack can be stopped. Work out and resolve this underlying issue and the dreams will stop.

Answer 6

recurring dreams mean that we have issues that we need to deal with also they represent fears that we don't know we have. i may be wrong but i'm guessing u are a single parent and if this is the case, the tigers represent ur fear that ur ex or his family want to take ur children, however something tells me, these tigers don't mean u any harm, they are natural protectors of their families and i think they see this quality in u and ur family and want to help you, to do this. think about ur family life are u secretly scared about debts or an outside source that u are afraid may take ur family away? the only thing i can suggest which will be hard but try taking control of these dreams and don't run away when the tigers approach and reach out a hand to stroke them

Answer 7

A recurring dream like that would probably mean you have a fear of some sort.
I think what you dream are the things in your subconscious.
I found if you think about these dreams just before you go to sleep it brings them out and you don't dream them.
It worked for me.

Answer 8

One way to understand your dream better is to write it out, then ask the characters in the dream some questions. For example, you can ask (in your imagination) the stepmother in your dream why she is killing you. You can then write out an answer. This is just a fun way to try to get to the bottom of dreams. Sometimes it really helps you understand what is going on. Good Luck

Answer 9

Whenever you have a reccuring dream forget about, don't let it play on your mind. Try listening to some soft dreamy music before turning over at night, it will help to sooth your mind. Good Luck.
