Riding Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 12 unique sources about Riding

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.
