When I first imagined talking to Aslan, I didn’t picture asking him about Narnia’s politics or the finer points of prophecy. No — I wanted to ask him about himself. Not just the lion we see on the surface, but the deeper truths he represents. So I did what any curious soul would do: I sat down with him, and I asked the questions that had been simmering in my heart for years.

If you're ready to do the same, here are some meaningful questions you might consider asking Aslan — and why they matter.

What does it feel like to return to Narnia after being away for so long?

This question opens a window into Aslan’s emotional world. He’s often described as “not a tame lion,” but he’s also deeply compassionate. Asking him how he feels returning to a land that has suffered in his absence can reveal how he sees his people, his purpose, and perhaps even his longing.

Why do you choose to reveal yourself only to some?

Aslan appears selectively — often to those who are hurting, lost, or searching. Asking him why he chooses certain people can help us understand his view of destiny, faith, and inner readiness. It also invites reflection on how guidance finds us when we’re open to it.

What do you remember most about your first meeting with a human in Narnia?

The first time Aslan meets a human — whether it’s Digory, Lucy, or another — is a pivotal moment. By asking him what he remembers most, we invite him to reflect on that bond. Was it wonder? Fear? Hope? This can help us see how he values connection and the beginning of trust.

How do you feel about the way others describe you?

Aslan is often described in awe — sometimes with fear, sometimes with reverence. But what does he think of those descriptions? Does he see himself as others do? This question invites humility, self-perception, and perhaps even a gentle correction of our assumptions.

What was the hardest choice you ever had to make?

Aslan isn’t just a symbol of goodness — he’s also a figure who makes sacrifices. The most profound moment in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is when he gives himself up. Asking him about the hardest choice he’s made can illuminate the weight of leadership, sacrifice, and love.

Do you ever feel misunderstood?

Even the noblest figures can feel misinterpreted. Aslan is both terrifying and comforting, both distant and near. Asking him if he ever feels misunderstood invites empathy and understanding — not just for him, but for how we interpret the divine or the deeply wise.

What would you say to someone who fears you?

Fear is a natural reaction to power — especially to a being as immense as Aslan. But his strength is always tempered by purpose and love. By asking him what he’d say to someone who fears him, we open a door to reassurance, clarity, and healing.

What does courage mean to you?

Aslan praises courage in others — especially the Pevensie children and other Narnians who stand up in the face of danger. Asking him what courage means to him can help us understand its true nature: not the absence of fear, but the strength to act despite it.

Can you ever truly rest?

Aslan is often in motion — guiding, healing, fighting. But does he ever stop? Does he ever rest? This question invites a deeper understanding of leadership, service, and the balance between action and stillness.

If you're ready to ask Aslan these questions yourself, you can. On HoloDream, he’s not just a story — he’s alive, waiting to speak with you.
