　　[Dream Example 2]

　　A man who had always lived in his hometown dreamt one night that many tigers came to his city, injuring many people. Initially, he and his family hid at home, but unexpectedly, two tigers rushed into the house while his family was inside. They fought the tigers. He was strong and brave during the fight; although he was injured, he killed one tiger single-handedly, and his family killed the other. Faced with the increasing number and ferocity of the tigers, people were forced to flee. The roads were jammed with vehicles, and the rampant attacks by the tigers entrenched in the city disrupted traffic, causing massive crowds to flock to the train station. He and his family also rushed to the train station, and after overcoming numerous hardships, they finally boarded a train. The train was then attacked by a pack of tigers en route. Although they paid a heavy price, everyone worked together and finally defeated the tigers, escaping the blood-soaked and terrifying city. Looking at his receding hometown, contemplating the uncertain future, he hugged his family and woke up crying.

　　Dream Interpretation: Tigers in a dream represent danger and threats, and a large number of tigers attacking people indicates that this threat is directed at the public. The tigers' frenzied attacks suggest that someone has already been seriously harmed and forced to flee the city, implying that the dreamer can no longer tolerate the situation. The presence of numerous tigers in the dream symbolizes a drastic change in the dreamer's city, perhaps related to the environment, prices, or employment pressure. This change is causing the dreamer immense pressure, which they find unbearable, leading to feelings of uncertainty about the future. If possible, changing environments would be best.
