Dear Anon,

One cannot simply apply the Dragon and Tiger in the way you have mentioned.

What I mean is that if you are relating to the objects: be it a picture, painting, statue of a dragon or tiger, one cannot say that say the picture of the dragon has to be at the left side while the tiger is on the right side.

Firstly, one should not display such objects especially in a bedroom. One can still display the objects under the following conditions:

1. Ideally, the dragon can be displayed but for a purpose:

a. It has to be a four claw or less dragon.
b. It can be displayed facing a door.
c. It can be displayed looking out of a window facing a poison arrow. Especially if the poison arrow is a metal lamp post, flag pole etc... This is due to the `breath' of the dragon being of the fire element. Fire destroys metal.

The reason why some use it to face a main entrance door is because the Dragon (being the most Yang animal) has Yang energy and helps to `neutralise' the Yin especially if it is an inauspicious sector.

Being Yang, it symbolises brightness and is similar as keeping the place "bright". Equvalent of brightening the area e.g. white paint or light up the area.

2. If a tiger is displayed in the home, it should not be ferocious, seems hungry or looks like stalking a pray. This is considered inauspicious.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
