The circle is one of the most important dream symbols. It points to the center of personality and our being that in turn brings up issues of completeness and wholeness in our lives. Since the Ferris wheel is associated with fun and excitement, this dream may be an encouragement for the dreamer to “lighten up,” see the larger picture, and possibly develop a more positive attitude.

Having or wanting a new perspective or change of pace.
Ability to see the “big picture.” The idea of going around and around (such as circular logic or a feeling of “getting nowhere”).
Repeated chances (such as to resolve an issue, or to notice or understand something).
