Pay attention to how you feel about the dream when you recall it. Does that feeling remind you of anything? Do any of the people, or the lion, remind you of anything familiar?

you may feel very protective towards someone, and you may perceive that the person is in danger.

No @Zaku – it doesn’t remind me of anyone to be honest.

Lions represent power and leadership but a lion attacking you symbolizes your fears and anxieties. The lion injured no one which is good as it means you have the inner strength to cope with these negative feelings. I am quite sure the dream was triggered by a situation in your waking life but of course I have no idea what that might be.

Did you feel frustrated or disappointed when you woke up?

“To dream that you are attacked by a lion suggests that a force may be driving you to self-destruction. You need overcome these challenges and obstacles.” Dream Moods Dictionary.

I have been going through tough situation in personal life which might be the reason. I understand lion attacking as indication of anxiety. Not sure how the kids come into picture instead of me.

Have you read or watched “The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe” recently?

You fear violence while in a group.
