Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would read the eagle-lion blend as a wish for both lofty vision and earthly power, two strengths fused in one guardian. As a keeper of treasure it may guard a desire you prize. Ask what the creature was watching over.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung might see the griffin as a union of sky and earth, spirit and instinct, joined in a single protective figure. Such composite beasts often stand for wholeness or a guarding of the inner self. The dream may point to a strength that watches over you.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Under the continuity view, a griffin often reflects waking thoughts about protection, dignity, or guarding something of worth. Heraldry, stories, and games may feed the image. Notice whether the creature defended you or barred your way.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
In old lore the griffin, eagle above and lion below, guards gold and sacred places with fierce loyalty. It joins the king of birds to the king of beasts. The image tends to ask what you are guarding and what it is worth to you.
