As most of us know, Dreamtiger is an elusive animal, much like a Lightfish.
Most of us have met the two of them in several instances of our lives but only a few have ever been able to either decipher their message not to mention to catch one.There is, however, an efficient way of catching a Dreamtiger. Get a package of Tiger Balm available in most Chinese Pharmacist’s and easily recognizable by the animal on its cover. Cover the shade of your night lamp with a warm-colored piece of cloth to achieve a soft light not offensive to the sensitive eyes of a night animal. Reserve a note block and a pencil at the head of your bed where you can be sure to find them instantaneously, half asleep or in total darkness.
On going to bed you have your feet rubbed with the ointment. You will probably sense a change in the feel of your feet and a tickle of anticipation in your stomach. Set your alarm clock as you usually would, brush your teeth and cuddle up in your bed.Dreamtigers start to move about between 1.30 and 4 o'clock a.m.. If there happens to be a single Dreamtiger in the area he will be drawn to your bedroom as Tiger Balm Toes ("Pleecoo") are one thing they cannot resist, no matter how shy they might otherwise be. You will be woken up having one licking the soles of your feet with its coarse tongue, eyes half-closed and vocalizing the gutturals than in Tigrish are used to indicate general well being and joy of life.
Carried away with enjoyment, it will not be bothered by your shaded night lamp so you can write it down. Usually at this stage they notice of you. If startled, it flees immediately from your sight and from your memory. This is why you were supposed to have the note block and the pencil immediately at hand. To write down a Dreamtiger you do not need much, an outline of the stripes of its face or a sketch of the

After a couple of encounters with a Dreamtiger you can run into one while wide-awake. At this stage, they are not visible but you can feel a gentle push of a hairy nose between your shoulder bones, accompanied by a warm flush of recognizing something you do not quite know what it is. The proper way of acknowledging the greeting is to smile inwards and say to yourself: "Wrrfff to you too!". I strongly advice gainst uttering Tigrish greeting exclamations in the public as they easily upset the unaware.
