Racing Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Dreaming of racing symbolizes various activities, successes, and entertainment in your life. It can indicate a release from work pressure, a playful mood, or a time for relaxation. If you are unwell and see yourself racing, it suggests a move towards better health. Through racing, you may gain new experiences that reflect the dynamism and joy in your life.
Ibn Sirin
Racing — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Racing" (page 350).
Racing on foot in a dream means activities, actions, accomplishments, workout, amuse ment, playfulness, idling, a vacation, or travelling without a purpose. If a sick person sees himself racing in a dream, it means his death. If a poor person sees himself racing in a dream, it means financial gains. If a traveller sees himself racing in a dream, it means returning to his home. Horse racing in a dream means indulging in what is forbidden, arrogance, self-deceit, or guaranteeing the success of what has no prospect of succeeding. Horse racing in a dream also could mean engaging in a dangerous adventure that could lead to one's death, corruption and divisiveness. Pigeon racing in a dream means sodomy. Car racing in a dream means exceeding the boundaries of safety, or crossing into the boundaries of danger.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
