What does a white tiger symbolize in my dream?

White tigers do not have an ancient history in folklore and myth as the familiar orange / black tigers have. So dreams about white tigers are more likely to have meanings specific to the individual dreamer. Beginning with the tiger itself, the dream would be depicting something wild and dangerous. Then combine that with a white tiger, which is more rare and exotic than other tigers, a creature of zoos and theaters, and the dream takes on an extra aura of fantasy. Depending on the context of the dream, the white tiger might represent something that would be dangerous in its natural state, but has been romanticized or sentimentalized. Something in the dreamer's life is truly dangerous, but has taken on a superficial appearance of being tame and cute.
