Korean lore: Traditionally, a lion in a cage has sometimes been read as a powerful force being held back. Whether the scene is about managing that force or feeling confined depends on what you felt in the dream. (This follows a folk dream reading approach that considers both the lion’s strength and the limits of its enclosure.)
