You mentioned something about having emotions buried inside you and being aggressive in a later post.

Riding the lion is the interesting part of this group of dreams. On the one hand, riding the lion might suggest controlling or mastering aggressive instincts. On the other hand, that image may also suggest the proverb "He who rides the tiger is afraid to dismount," with the lion that does live in your part of the world replacing the tiger that doesn't live there; are you afraid of what might happen if you lose control over your emotions or aggression?
