Tiger dream

Days and nights sometimes seem joined, just separated by the fact of sleep and darkness vs. activity and sunlight. Dreamed two nights ago of my daughter being her wonderful self, full of fun and laughter then a large dark tiger came out and killed her. My grief was so strong I could not stop crying and people were commenting on it. She is crying again...I tried to wake up but my dream insisted on my crying and crying more. I thougth I never felt grief so strongly. My daughter appeared in spirit and said she is with me, just going to guide me from a new angle. I knew no matter how hard I grieved I would have to accept the fact she was dead and not coming back to life. Part of me knew it was best this way but I could not figure out what I no longer need in my life and how to go on without her presence. Then I was able to wake up.
The dream wouldn't fade all day and now two days later is still prominent in my consciousness, so that I felt writing it here in my self discovery blog would be best.
Yesterday, the day after, I heard on the news all day about a large dark panther that had escaped some nearby type of zoo, had a pet dog in its mouth and that both had to be put down. What a bizarre story, how unreal and it spoke loudly tome that the dream really means something important.
My dream continued into real life; it must be more than a mere coincidence!!
