The Curious Dreamer’s Dream Dictionary

by Nancy Wagaman
Participating in a real-life or imagined process.

For example, riding a bus with other passengers might represent working with teammates toward a shared goal (represented by the direction and destination of the bus) with a leader who’s in charge of direction (represented by the bus driver).

If you’re not helping control the direction (for example, as a passenger on a train), riding could represent “just going along for the ride” in a group activity.

If you’re controlling the direction (for example, when riding a motorcycle), riding could represent leading or being in charge of a process, yourself, or your life.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Riding in a dream symbolizes the duality between mind and instincts. Therefore, the message that conveys the unconscious will relate to your intellect or, more often, with your sexual activity. So, if you gallop at full speed it means that you should set your senses free. Depending on whether you master the horse or if it bolts, you will know if you are able to keep them under control. (See HORSE)

The dream superstition estimates very good omens for this dream, especially if someone you love is riding with you.

Vision: Riding on a Horse: you are too vain and ambitious. Riding a Donkey: yon are making fim of others unfairly. Riding on a Camel: you are pursuing your goals with patience and poise. Riding on an Elephant: you can look forward to a pleasant adventure. Riding on a Cow: you don’t quite know where you want to go or what you want to do.

Depth Psychology: Riding might indicate your sexual desires, or a conscious effort to guide and control those desires.
