Dreaming of a Donkey
donkey, ass, burro · mixed, depending on the scene
A donkey can mean travel, inheritance or insult; owning one, especially a white one, is the best omen.
What happens in the dream
- You're given or buy a donkey: you'll rise in the world and, if single, make a happy marriage
- A white donkey: a lasting fortune that lets you pursue what you love
- A donkey brays in your face: a coarse, unscrupulous person will insult you publicly
- You hear a donkey bray mournfully in the distance: wealth and release from a burden, through the death of someone close
- You ride a donkey: you'll travel abroad along difficult paths
- You lead a donkey by a halter: you'll master every situation
- You fall off a donkey: bad luck and disappointment; lovers will quarrel and part
- Children riding a donkey: they'll be healthy and well-behaved
- A donkey kicks you: fear that a secret affair will be exposed
How you felt
- Endurance: the dream often reflects the load you carry patiently
- Stubbornness: perhaps resistance, yours or someone else's, that is holding things up
Ask yourself
- Am I carrying more than my share?
- Where am I digging in my heels when I could let go?
