Mare Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a mare usually speaks of freedom and speed, with an added layer of tenderness and responsibility. Horses have always stood for running free, and in a mare this mixes with the instinct to protect her foal. In a dream these two sides often show up together. What the mare was doing, and what condition she was in, shape much of the meaning.

• A mare running

  A force is waking in your life that is hard to hold back. Often it is the urge to move toward a new goal.

• Riding a calm mare

  This dream carries a sense of your own ability and of control over your situation. A horse that listens to you means the reins are now in your hands.

• A weak or sick mare

  This hints at fading energy. After holding on to something for so long, tiredness has built up inside you.

• A mare with her foal

  Feelings tied to family bonds and motherhood come forward, especially a pull to shelter someone.

• Falling off a mare

  This often reflects a fear of losing control, especially when some part of your life suddenly feels unsteady.

• Walking calmly beside a mare

  This scene reminds you that strength and gentleness can live together. One does not cancel the other.
