Race in a dream
Old dream books read a race in a dream as a competitive spirit, hurry and a goal within arm's reach.
In folk belief, a race in a dream shows how much it matters to you to get somewhere. It is read as a contest with yourself more than with others: you want to be better than you were yesterday. A light step and a good rhythm are believed to announce that work will go smoothly. If you were falling behind in the dream, dream books see nothing bad in it, only a reminder that everyone runs at their own pace and that the finish line is reached at a slower stride as well.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you win a race
By folk belief, first place means you will soon finish something ahead of schedule. People say success looks best alongside modesty.
Dreaming that you are running a marathon
A long course is read as persistence and strength that is well paced. It is believed you will last to the end in something that takes time.
Dreaming that you cross the finish line last
Last place is a sign that you should not compare yourself with others. Old dream books say what counts is getting there, not in what order.
Dreaming that you are cheering at a race
Cheering by the track is read as support you are giving to someone dear. It is read that your word of encouragement will mean a great deal.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
