What does dreaming about lion mean in the Bible?

The lion cuts both ways in Scripture. Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah — royal, victorious. Yet Peter warns that the devil prowls like a roaring lion seeking prey. A lion dream may signal either a threat to resist in faith, or a call to the fearless confidence of the righteous, who are "as bold as a lion." In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, lion is filed under animals — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Revelation 5:5, 1 Peter 5:8, Proverbs 28:1. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to lion, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
