The Lion, the Dog and the Scorpion (LOH 246)

I believe in dreams. Especially ones that I can remember or feel very real. Most of the time, dreams I remember have a lot to do with animals. I take it as a sign especially when the dreams give me a positive feelings. Then there are those that are just outright nightmares. This is never good.

Recently, I dreamt of a white lion. It wasn’t aggressive or anything, it was just present and it felt like something really worth noting. I know we don’t have accurate dream interpretations but I never felt threatened by the lion. I felt no fear even. I was led to believe that it was something good.

So, I employed the help of Gemini and I got several interpretations but the one that really struck me was the one that had to do with a Growth. Apparently, the lion signified challenges that won’t bring me down but rather unlock my potentials. It would usher me into a new season of my life.

I don’t base my life on superstition or things like this but for some reason, I believed this one. Maybe because I was actually going through a change and doing things I would otherwise shun. Trying new stuff and making myself relevant where it matters.

The other dream I had was about dogs. In Nigeria, they don’t attribute dreams about dogs to anything good. But this one didn’t feel oppressive in any way. I did not feel like I was dealing with any demonic operation or anything. It just felt like I was with friends.

It was a very big friendly Labrador. Drooly too. But it was cheerful, playful and very fluffy to touch. I felt my happiness even when I woke from that dream. I did not google that but I felt way too good for it to be anything negative.

One negative experience I have with an animal that occurs over and over again is the scorpion. Maybe cause I hate it but I always wake with a start when it comes to this animal. I also mostly have these dreams at a dreary point in my life.

I asked Gemini for interpretations. Scorpions are related to bad things; death, pain, grief, loss and so many others. A black scorpion is worse. Most times, it’s a black scorpion I see and not long after that, I find myself struggling with one thing or the other or I get the news of someone’s death. Sometimes, I learn that a neighbor close by passed away.

Sometimes even this dream will manifest and I will find scorpions littered in the house somewhere or one big one close to my bed. So, when I dream of these, I pray.

In conclusion, I always dream and I remember them. When I do, I remember how it made me feel, I try to recall the circumstances surrounding the dream and then I decide what it means. I believe that you create your own reality, even with your dreams. Nothing has the power over you unless you let it, dreams aren’t excluded.
