Dream About Mountain Lion

I once had a dream that I was on top of a green hill and I noticed a mountain lion staring back at me. A few minutes later the mountain lion was chasing me in my dream and I was unable to get away. I'm not sure if it was because I was watching the Netflix documentary Joe Exotic, if you have not seen this I urge you to do. I believe that it serves as an important reminder of how large cats such as mountain lions can be dangerous to humans when they come into contact with us. They are without question beautiful wild animals but unpredictable when provoked or threatened by people, so dream-wise this is about keeping a safe and respectful distance from someone in your life.

When I woke up this dream caused me to be somewhat anxious and perplexed. My first port of call was my extensive ancient dream dictionaries, for which I have a library of about 1000 books. Most of the dream books indicated that seeing a mountain lion can indicate that something is perceived as “threatening” in daily life. To see a mountain lion generally indicates that “danger” is coming. Sorry this is a more positive and yes it did freak me out! Gratefully, these were the really old pre-1930s dream dictionaries which also included things like seeing a cellar could mean death so I did not pay that much attention to this meaning.

What is the dream meaning of a mountain lion?

In some dream dictionaries (more modern ones) escaping or getting away from the mountain lion suggest that you are ready to meet any challenges in daily life. Killing a mountain lion can illustrate that going to challenge a threat “head-on” if you are befriending a mountain lion and he or she is not seen as a threat and be a positive dream. It symbolizes your hidden desire for calm collective thought the female mountain lion can indicate that it is time to take your deep emotions. To dream of seeing more than one mountain lion in my research can suggest that you may fear some type of freedom. Maybe you’ve been t relying on somebody it’s time for you to take control in life. 

You may have been wondering what the spiritual meaning of a mountain lion in a dream could be. To answer this, I feel it is important to not only look at the symbol of a puma but also take into account its natural habitat as well as your own feelings or beliefs related to the dream.

A mountain lion is an animal that prefers living in rocky regions, such as mountains - especially those found in the Andes - plus they prefer being solitary and stealthy hunters. So looking at these characteristics we can now start to understand what this animal might mean for us during our dreams.

The first thing to acknowledge when analyzing a dream featuring a mountain lion is that it often represents strength or ferocity. This could be due to its hunting abilities and independent nature, with many spiritual interpretations pointing towards inner power and determination from within oneself or one’s spirit guide team protecting them from any potential harm – physical or symbolic – on their journey through life.

My dream books (I have them all) suggest that dreaming of a mountain lion can indicate awakening spirituality; when we see one in our dream world it can represent our connection with something much larger than ourselves, such as cosmic energies which are all around us - even if sometimes we cannot feel them directly. 

When you dream about a mountain lion, it often means that there is an element of fear or intimidation present in your life. The big cat can represent an intimidating figure or force that is coming into your life in some way, whether this be from other people or from yourself. This could manifest as self-doubt or limiting beliefs holding us back from reaching our full potential. I’m sure you will agree with me that this dream can represent someone who intimidates us within our own lives; perhaps a family member, friend or colleague.

Where was the dream featured?

The mountainous terrain where these lions live also represents physical strength and resilience – its ability to survive the most dangerous of places with ease illustrates its unique effectiveness as both predator and prey. Our dreams about such animals could therefore suggest that we are searching for inner strength to overcome whatever challenge we’re currently facing; confidence-building if you will! Similarly, dreaming of this beautiful lion could mean ‘power’, especially in a work context. Dreaming of a golden mountain lion (most of them are golden) could also relate to feeling protective towards those around you - like a fierce animal protecting its territory. I also feel this is your spiritual guide simply protecting you. This dream can also suggest that you feel a sense of responsibility towards, just like how the mountain lion looks after her young. If the mountain lion was featured in an urban setting (such as on a road, or in your home) during a dream then this is about the fact you should exemplify courage in the face of adversity.

My feeling is regardless of “where” the lion was in the dream this dream is urging you to take proactive steps such as affirmations and positive self-talk are essential for creating an empowering mindset. Think about it, if we speak positively (act like a lion) it helps build up our confidence. So start injecting positivity into your mind by talking kindly to yourself and replacing any negative thoughts with affirming ones like: “I am capable of succeeding” or “I have the power needed for this task”. 

What is the spiritual meaning of a mountain lion?

I contacted my spiritual leader in order to understand specifically what the mountain lion signifies in dreams. From a spiritual perspective, the mountain lion is often connected to our transformation in our physical plane. He concluded that the mountain lion appearing in my dream was a spiritual animal that was trying to connect to me. The fact that the lie was chasing me, he said, was that I was trying to run away from something important in life. This was quite interesting as at the time I was trying to run away from a difficult position at work. If you think about the name of the mountain lion, the name “mountain” indicates you will climb up to something. The mountain lion itself can be associated with a challenge or problem that seems never-ending.

Many people have emailed me after dreaming of a mountain lion (also known as a panther, puma, or cat amount) this is a very interesting dream and I want to take some time to describe what this dream means spiritually. The mountain lion is generally a hermit, scouring the landscape alone. This is super significant because in dreams it can mean you just want to be alone.

On Sunday I randomly (not planned) watched a documentary about mountain lions on Netflix this was a truly captivating experience, especially watching a rather frightening attack on a buffalo. It made me realize that only do these animals have an impressive spirit, but they also hold great symbolic significance for many cultures and religions. 

The most widely known characteristic of mountain lions is their solitary behavior; they are independent predators who thrive in isolation. Despite this, there are times when female mountain lions will team up together to hunt prey, forming a powerful bond of solidarity and cooperation between themselves. This can give us some clues as to the dream meaning, especially as female mountain lions establish territories using vocal communication; they make incredible yelping sounds that not only intimidate other animals --- but also mark the boundaries around their territory. What are you trying to protect?

The Cheyenne people believed that the spirit of the lion was essential to bring strength and protection against danger or evil forces from outside one’s home which allowed them to live happily within it. In South American culture there is reverence for Puma (another name given to mountain lions) as it has been known since ancient times as representative power – seen in pottery art from Peru dating back 3000 years. That is such a long time, and from historic artifacts, we can conclude that the mountain lines is associated with confronting obstacles or enemies along life’s path.
