Bridle Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Seeing a bridle in your dream symbolizes control and points to significant aspects of your life. It may represent your partner or spouse, indicating authority or a lack thereof in your relationship. The bridle can also signify a battlefield, suggesting mental stress or struggle. Additionally, if you are holding the bridle, it indicates that you possess power and resources in your life.
Ibn Sirin
Bridle — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Bridle" (page 58).
In a dream, a bridle represents a wife, a battlefield, or a sickness. A bridle in a dream also means obedience, servitude or submission and wealth in the hands of the one who sees himself holding it. If a traveller sees a bridle in a dream, it means slow coming news from home. Ifa sick person sees the bridle of a horse in his dream, it means shattering of his hopes. If a traveller sees a bridle in his dream, it means being forsaken by others. A bridle in a dream also could mean protection from sin. (Also see Rein)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
