Riding in a dream symbolizes the duality between mind and instincts. Therefore, the message that conveys the unconscious will relate to your intellect or, more often, with your sexual activity. So, if you gallop at full speed it means that you should set your senses free. Depending on whether you master the horse or if it bolts, you will know if you are able to keep them under control. (See Also: HORSE)
The dream superstition estimates very good omens for this dream, especially if someone you love is riding with you.
