It is important to bear in mind the above-mentioned symbolism when interpreting dreams with the white tiger appearing. I will try to make the selection of the most common appearances and to offer their accurate interpretation.
Since they are so rare in the wild, the appearance of white tigers in human dreams should be examined thoroughly. In most cases, the dreaming of a white tiger is related to the dreamer’s personal power. If you are expecting some challenges in the future, dreaming of a white tiger could be interpreted as a good omen.
If you dreamed of a white tiger in this context, it is usually understood as the symbol of strong will and pride. Expect your life obstacles to be successfully overcome.
The White Tiger As A Spirit Animal
Generally speaking, dreaming of a white tiger is a good omen, since it is an animal that traditionally plays the role of a guardian in some cultures (Chinese and Korean, for example). This dream might say to you that you have a guardian angel in your life as well, be it your friend, partner or a family member. There is always someone you can rely on, someone to protect you.
Similarly, this dream might be an announcement of someone who will show up in your life to give you valuable advice. Someone wise and clever will provide you with an important life lesson in the near future.
However, dreaming of a white tiger in this context can also have some negative aspects as well. It can symbolize some fear you have and have been keeping away from yourself. Maybe you are running away from some problem.
Friendly White Tiger Dream
If the white tiger appearing in your dream was friendly and affectionate, it signifies your gaining of peace and tranquility over the wild side of your personality. It doesn’t mean you will lose your power and strength, on the contrary. You will keep them both, but will learn how to use them in a constructive way, without being aggressive towards anything in your life.
Additionally, seeing a friendly and peaceful white tiger in a dream may also suggest you will come to an open door in your life. In front of it, you should decide whether to go through or not. Thus, it will take courage and confidence to bring such a decision, and the white tiger is the symbol of it.
Hostile White Tiger Dream
If you were attacked by the white tiger in your dream, expect a serious problem coming your way. However, since the white tiger is a rare animal, this issue you will face will also be rare and quite difficult to solve. It may be related to your friends, family, partner or work.
In any case, try to stay focused and to keep your strength for the obstacles to come. Your inner peace and rationality will play the key role in solving the problem waiting for you.
Dreaming About White Tiger Cubs
Dreaming about cubs in general brings peace to the soul of the dreamer. It is always related to some gentleness and tranquility, whatever animal cub you dream of.
However, in case you had a dream of white tiger cubs, it represents your love and readiness to protect your closed ones. You are ready to do whatever it takes to keep your family and children safe, and the white tiger is the symbol of this eagerness.
Dreaming About Killing The White Tiger
If you dreamed of capturing or killing the white tiger, it is usually a good sign in terms of your personal growth. You are finally ready to take control over your instincts, insecurities, aggression, or some other aspects of your personality you had problems with in the past.
You have found peace of mind and there is nothing that can shake you seriously. Your self-confidence is on the high level.
Conclusion
As I pointed out, dreaming of white tiger is always related to some future possibilities waiting for you, be it positive or negative. The tiger itself is the symbol of your own endurance, patience, and stability. In the end, it is up to you whether your future will be bright or not.
Try to use this dream as a reminder to preserve your strength, in order to use your potential as much as possible. It will help you to achieve any goal you have.
