The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
To dream that you are skating predicts that you are entering an unstable situation, since this type of dreams symbolizes risk.

If the sensation is unpleasant, it is from your real life fear that this instability will end badly (for example, in serious economic loss). On the contrary, if the scenes of skating are pleasant from an esthetic point of view, you will probably emerge from the conflictive situation stronger. And more importantly: you will distinguish with greater clarity your existential direction from this point on.

Dreams of skating suggest that the dreamer is enjoying his or her life.

If you are performing like a professional skater (and aren’t one), this could suggest that you are about to take off in some way in your waking life. If, however, your skates are out of control, this could suggest that in your quest for enjoyment you are acting recklessly. On the other hand, this dream could be telling you to get your skates on and put more pace and activity into a particular project or relationship.

Ariadne's Book of Dream

Roller-skating may represent skating through life without a care, worry, or concern. On concrete surfaces, it may show the exhilaration that comes with conquenng a concrete project. Ice-skating may point to gliding through your fears and transforming them into a dance. It may mention the necessity to keep balance and poise in a fearful situation.
