Dreaming of claws mean you might about to experience cutting or tearing. The person looking back at you might be part jaguar, or have these feline features as some type of disguise. This can mean that you’re afraid that someone is out to attack you, or would like to control or hurt you.
If the claws are seen in relation to some other living creature (human or animal), the dreamer might be feeling threatened by that person, animal, or another threat from their environment.
