As a carnival ride, the ferris wheel relates to brief moments of escapism and a desire to change things up in your life.
The specific nature of this particular ride is about rising to higher vantage points, but the repetitive nature suggests that it doesn’t offer anything of true substance.
If you get stuck in such a ride, you may be dreaming of a desire to see further without doing the real work to expand your consciousness.
The ferris wheel is usually the most visible element of a fair that can be seen from a distance. In this way, it can be a symbol of joy and playfulness that is available for you to enjoy.
[1]The Ferris wheel could be symbolic of the “circle of life.” It may represent the ups and downs of life that create the total life experience.
The circle is one of the most important dream symbols. It points to the center of personality and our being that in turn brings up issues of completeness and wholeness in our lives. Since the Ferris wheel is associated with fun and excitement, this dream may be an encouragement for the dreamer to “lighten up,” see the larger picture, and possibly develop a more positive attitude.
