the tiger and the pentagram

[opal_dreamcatcher]

There a dream I remember from many years ago. I was in my first relationship and the first time I slept next to my significant other; upon waking, I could only recall the image of an astral tiger fiercely fighting the shadows / darkness / void around it as if it was another tiger.

I used to wear a Pentagram pendant during our relationship (not a pentacle pendant). In the dream, I was face to face with my ex after I found the pentagram broken into 5 pieces in the front seat of a vehicle in a garage. We were in the back seat when we came face to face. I was right he waS left. I forget who said it but one of us said "I am in you"

Then the other "You are in me"

Then the first who spoke "You are (name)"

The other "You are "(name)"

I forget what happened after that.

Some time later I lost the pentagram necklace within a week of finding a blanket with a tiger print. I pinned it to my east wall in my bedroom and strange occurrences began to take place. In the darkness of my bedroom at night I was skyclad with a candle lit. I drew the cross of light upon me and the circle of pentagrams around me but when I faced the west wall where there was an open closet, as I drew the 3rd pentagram, I saw clawed hands like a human and as black as the void taking form within. I went to close the sliding doors which, to my horror, wouldn't close and I could see the hand holding the sliding door open inches in front of me and it was very strong I could NOT shut it. I forget what I must have said because this was 5 years ago but I began chanting either Hebrew names of God or the Greek phrase "Hekas, Hekas, Este Bebelo" soon after speaking the door shut

anyways, this dream has haunted me for many years. it's one that is on my mind all the time and the tiger follows me in my dreams.

Another dream of the tiger:

I was in the backseat of a vehicle that was driving through a forest on a sunny afternoon. There was horrific looking zombie tiger behind a tall green fence on the left hand side. I was on the right with the window down halfway. As I looked on I was mystified... then I turned and before I could see my window something grabbed me by the throat and screamed demonically, filling my body with fear. I was free from paralysis when I woke up. i believe i was sleeping with the tiger blanket that night and later pinned it to the wall.

to me, the most significant factor of these dreams involves the idea that you
were in the backseat of those vehicles. passengers travel in the back seat
(and there's nothing wrong with that!). the point of that observation is that
you don't seem to have been "in charge" of where you were traveling... the
direction of your spiritual development has been entrusted to some unspecified
force [which i feel comfortable in assuming to be your 'higher self' sensibility].

the tiger which follows you in your dreams might represent your empowerment,
and you may hold some fear of accepting the responsibility of it.

I suspect the tiger is your protector energy. It does protect you but it may be hiding some hurt underneath that needs healing. Your boyfriend at the time may have had some similar personality traits and as such you were being triggered into seeing yourself better. Something is driving you that you are not aware of but it is likely something you fear confronting so it remains in the dark. Possibly it is rooted in the phrase, far, far away be the profane. Meaning you try your best to avoid speaking ill of yourself but beneath the surface you may harbor some self criticism that is undermining your well being. Or maybe you have some idea that you are never to speak a bad word about anyone and it is keeping you from fully expressing yourself. In any event, it seems you are on a quest of self discovery so you can eventually be the one behind the wheel in control of your life.

Thanks you you all for reading and writing. :)

I had another dream about the tiger last night and I think it is may be related to reading these responses.

I had adopted a pitbull.
I had two older and wealthy women over at my house I dont actually own.
I let the dog outside when I went to associate with them in my living area.
I saw Ken pass a window as we were talking.
Ken is a man from my past who manipulated me into drag and sex work and drug industry.
We ended our relationship on bad terms which was intimate at first and strictly business in the end.
Back to the dream we were on good terms and the women were polite to him but I sensed they felt uncomfortable.
I went to let the pitbull in to balance the energy of the room.
To my horror he was flattened and motionless between the screen and the wooden door.
I grabbed him and cradled him in my arms and choked on my tears.
I thought "I'm so sorry" over and over again."
I looked him in his face and felt weak breathe and began to speak to him. His eyes were open.
"You're so sweet I love you so much You're so beautiful." as I stroked his head and back.
He began to expand and fill with life and breathe heavier so I slowly exhaled into his face until he was revived entirely.
Later when I was cuddling with him on the floor my young (less than 10 years) niece was above us and wanted my attention I forget what she was saying. I got up and we talked. The pitbull had shapeshifted into a tiger and was in the window with incredible light on him he was licking his paws.
My niece and I were dancing holding onto each other hands and the tiger watched and approached us and danced playfully with us. It was interesting how he would flatten his body in his dance because when he was a pitbull he almost died flattened between doors.
