I had this dream last night that shook me up pretty good. I was at some kind of Bible study retreat, which is odd because I haven’t been to church since high school. Anyway, as we’re all leaving to get in our cars, I see these zoo animals loose—like, out in the open.
There were three lions just across the street, closing in on people, and then I see a tiger getting sedated. The scariest part? I was carrying my baby with me the whole time. All I could think about was how I had to protect my baby and myself.
I remember running with a group of people, trying to find rides, and we ended up in a McDonald’s playground to get up high. But even then, the animals started climbing up towards us. It felt so real and terrifying.
This isn’t the first time I’ve had this kind of dream, either. Every few years, I dream about zoo animals escaping, but this was the first time I had my baby with me, and I was at a Bible study. I can’t make sense of it—what do y’all think it could mean?
Your dream seems to blend deep emotions and symbols tied to protection, fear, and unexpected challenges. The loose zoo animals could represent uncontrollable situations or threats in your life, while carrying your baby highlights your instinct to protect what matters most to you. Being at a Bible study, despite not attending church, might point to a need for guidance or a search for stability during uncertain times. The recurring theme suggests this could be a pattern of anxiety or feeling unprepared for unexpected events. Maybe it’s your subconscious nudging you to trust yourself and your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
