I’m sure there is a ton of symbolism in this one, but have no idea what it all means…
I had a dream the other night that I was hanging out at the lake. I’m pretty sure it was Lake Roosevelt, a place I’ve spent significant time. In any case, I was hanging out in the water near the shore when down the river/lake walked a giant tiger. Yes…the giant tiger was walking on water. I hung out near the shore with just my nose and the top of my head out of the water hoping that he wouldn’t see me. For whatever reason, I also had a small stuffed toy tiger in my possession. Unfortunately for me, the giant tiger was indeed coming after me. I tried to slip away quietly through the water like a crocodile with just my head, nose and eyes above the surface. As the giant tiger got closer, I threw the stuffed tiger in a different direction as a diversionary tactic. Unfortunately, it didn’t work, the tiger continued in my direction and ate me.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this one…

You’re feeling overwhelmed. Ther’s something taking over your life (so to speak) that you’re trying to deny, and even though you are attempting to deflect the inevitable with diversion (the toy tiger ploy) you know the Giant Tiger will rule. So - what’s the Giant Tiger?

They say if you die in your dreams, then you are actually dead. Now that I know you are alive can you confirm that you died when the tiger ate you? Or, did you wake up before it was over?
