Dreaming of a Race

race, competition, contest, sprint · mixed

A race points to competition: winning means beating your rivals, losing means disappointment.

What happens in the dream

  • You win: you will overcome your competitors and succeed
  • You are in a race: others want what you are working for
  • You lose: disappointment
  • You go to a horse race: poverty and drifting

How you felt

  • Pressure: the dream often reflects a sense of having to push yourself
  • Excitement: perhaps a taste for challenge

Ask yourself

  • Whom or what am I racing against?
  • Am I chasing the right goal?
