It has been awhile since having a dream of such power, this one surprised me!
In the dream I was somewhere almost exactly where I stayed in Ecuador, so somewhere tropical because the windows were open wide and the space I lived in was sparse, much like I had during my stay in Apuela.
In this dream there was a kitten with blood on her tail (I’m not sure of its significance) and also a dog which had run off into the bush and we were trying to find her. When I say we, I’m not sure who was in my company, but it felt like my son Lucas at a younger age. At first I believed the dog was Mali, but this dog did not have her beautiful markings, and was a bit smaller. While I was out looking for her she had come back and my son told me she was waiting for me on my bed. He was surprised I hadn’t seen or heard her joy represented by her tail movement, slapping the bed. I’m not sure if she was injured, but she was so terribly afraid, so much so she couldn’t get up to greet me, rather waiting for me to come to her, which I did. I lay beside her and pulled her close, wrapping her in my arms as she shivered. There was movement at the window, so I looked up to see the face of a white tiger looking back at me. It’s teeth were barred and it was ready to leap through the window right on me. The sound of its growl and the look on its face was quite frightening – I couldn’t move, only stare in fascination at the beautiful beast which seemed ready to take my life and the life of this poor frightened dog who was now trying to hide under me.
Two things happened at this point which are quite amazing. The tiger did leap through my window, but landed on the floor beside the bed, making no attempt to hurt me or the dog. As it walked around the bed, it seemed to vanish, making the fact it was actually a spirit known, by doing so. At the same time the dog which was half my body length at the beginning of this experience, was becoming as small as a puppy, almost disappearing as well. This was when I woke up, completely fascinated by the gift I was given through this dream.
It was not until I read the spirit meaning of this rare tiger, the understanding of the dream was found. If one looks at the possible spirit message, which appeared to be exactly the same in every web page I opened, it seems clear this incredible white tiger is my protector, which explains why although it was frightening to see it suddenly appear at my window ready to leap at me, I did not flinch or even look away. It was almost as if I expected this animal to appear. The dog which became a puppy while held in my arms, I believe represents the fear of the loyalty to my story, my history, my heritage, which up until lately has been quite strong. Over the past few months the time I’ve spent on my own has rewarded me with the ability to move past those fears knowing I am protected, loved and supported by the Spirit guides who walk with me. The White Tiger represents this truth, accepting its presence and acknowledging his role, means my fears (not my loyalty) are getting so small as to be not visible anymore. The dog which became a puppy represents going back to childhood where the fear which ruled my adult life began. Facing the tiger with more respect than fear represents accepting how I have been guided (by Spirit) through the fearful memories in order to accept my true self as I was born to be. How amazing the symbology of this dream is!
With the opportunity arising to speak once again about my story in a public setting, confronting those who cannot believe who I claim to be, represents my determination and strength of conviction which will at last, even if it’s only on a very small scale, to speak my truth.
The White Tiger Spirit comes when you are ready to show this kind of courage.
My speaking date is now only 10 days away, the reality of it sinking in last night as I approved the poster and newspaper advertisement. It was a reminder of my experience with Pecha Kucha 5 years ago, an experience which seemed to open the doors to discovering who my father was. This was the situation which led to me having the courage to write my first book, then travel to Ecuador. How much I have grown and changed since that event! So while it may seem like an unimportant event to some, I understand just what I’m potentially doing by having another public event, this time armed with so much more information, yet understanding absolutely the consequences of sharing my story.
I have experienced everything from shared wonder to complete disbelief over the last 4 years, so this has been anything but easy or beneficial in the real world for me. My inner path however has been rewarded in many beautiful ways. Given the choice, knowing it would have been far more suitable to my previously perceived personality, I would have stayed hidden. With the knowledge however, came this incredible need to let my true self out of the hidden world of my cage. I often say how my father will not let me stop pursuing this path to reconciliation and this is the truth. However, the more I settle into my true self, the less I can allow myself to hide. Living as the shadow I became has been in the end far more painful than facing someone else’s fears. And yes, this is how they stopped me from living, their fear and their direct intentions to terrify me of being myself, is behind all of this.
My time during these last few months, every night spent alone with just my thoughts encouraging me to admit defeat, has had the reverse affect. This time in self induced isolation has brought me out of that fog of deception, showing me failure is not an option. Moving forward and into a new circle has been developing because of this isolation. It has only been a re-evaluation showing me the way out of this hidden space. Unwilling after all to accept going back into silence and fear, I chose instead light exercise, affirmations, prayers, gratitude and art, rather than the familiar and trusted defeatist attitude. This has inevitably shown me great possibility and new hope. My story will be told and I accept the consequences of telling it, I trust the White Tiger walking with me to the end, so let’s just do it!
Spirit message of the White Tiger:
The white tiger is also seen as a symbol of courage.
This is likely because the white tiger is not afraid to stand up for what it believes in and fight for what it wants.
The white tiger is a reminder that we should never give in to fear, and that we should always have the courage to stand up for what we believe in.
White Tiger Symbolism
Role: Finding Personal Truth
Lesson: Power through Conviction, Individuality, Shadow & Light
Element: Fire
Wind: South, Recalling the Inner Child (your emotional body)
Medicine: Uniqueness
One who is blessed to have White Tiger walk beside them, is here with the Role to Seek Personal Truth. Yet in order to thoroughly understand and absorb the lessons and responsibilities of this role, White Tiger Soul need first acknowledge the shadows that exist Within.
Yet the challenge here is acknowledgment and the facing of Personal Truths free of judgment, self retribution or placing the “responsibility” onto another. Instead, true integration and acknowledgment of Personal Truths comes from accepting what is revealed with an open and understanding heart, while operating with the Higher Intent to change what is ultimately harmful, painful or no longer of service to the growth of the individual soul along its Life Path.
Once this self-examination and soul level ~cleansing~ has been accomplished, White Tiger Soul may then become the gleaming example to his/her fellow two-legged of the gift and beauty of operating from Personal Truth.
White Tiger is drawn to a soul that has a powerful sense of conviction and inner strength. Therefore, one who is blessed with this Power Totem will have strong ideas of what is “right” and “wrong,” and will stand by this personal belief system, even if that means leaping in the face of popular opinion.
One of the most critical traits of the tiger is his personal power and strength. The appearance of this animal often comes at the moment when you have to show your courage.
