Dreams Related To Donkey

A donkey in the backyard

I dreamt that I was a young child and I looked outside my house and on my property was a donkey standing there. I asked my brother to come to the window to look at the donkey.

Seeing yourself as a child suggests that some of your words or behavior in waking life may be inappropriate or ill-advised. You could be annoying the people around you or making them feel uncomfortable. However, looking at a donkey through a window may reveal that you do not think your shortcomings come close to other people's in your life. The donkey could be the manifestation of people you consider to be vile, headstrong or unpleasant to deal with. Together, these symbols show how you favor pointing out other people's problems rather than being accountable for your own. If you want to improve your relationships with those around you, you may need to start considering the effects of your words and actions more.

Donkeys giving birth

I was dreaming seeing donkeys passing in front of me, all of a sudden I saw the first donkey giving birth then the second one and the third one, all giving birth at the same time. In the same dream I saw other donkeys grazing on the green pastures and they were looking beautiful and smooth.

Donkeys, as they do in wake life, usually represent obstinate, stubborn people, most likely members of your own family. Watching these donkeys give birth, then, predicts upcoming domestic bliss when these individuals (like siblings or kids) finally give in and become more pacified and manageable. Their more compliant nature should improve the quality of your interactions with them as well as help the household run more smoothly.

A donkey in general

A dream in which a donkey strikes you as an important detail, regardless of any related circumstances or events, is often interpreted as a harbinger of unfavorable developments and displeasing situations coming your way. Although it is impossible to predict their specific nature or cause, it is very likely that they would result in significant hardships and doubts for you. Additionally, such dreams could be foretelling that you would be faced with intimidating challenges and significant obstacles in the upcoming future, circumstances that would try to prevent you from achieving your aspirations and reaching your goals.

A donkey chasing you

A dream in which you picture yourself trying to escape from a donkey or even a herd of donkeys vigorously chasing you around is widely interpreted as a vision indicating there could be a plethora of gossips revolving around your persona at the moment. As it often is in such cases, these rumors stem mainly from the ignorance of individuals who do not really know you and may have never had the possibility to discover who you truly are. Unlikely to be of great magnitude for your life in general, these gossips could still be rather bothersome and emotionally exhausting, so perhaps it could be wise to clarify the situation among those people who spread the faulty news.

A donkey crossing a stream

Watching a donkey crossing a shallow stream or river, especially if it was doing so while carrying the weight of a bulky package or heavy load, may predict soon being asked to perform or volunteering to do some difficult, time-consuming task. In this case, the weight of the cargo and difficulty of the crossing are directly proportional to the magnitude of the task at hand and the obstacles you would have to overcome during this period of time.

Feeding a donkey

If you happen to see a dream in which you are feeding a donkey or even a herd of donkeys, be aware that this could be an alarming sign pointing to a very specific personality trait you may have. This vision hints that you could have an inclination towards helping people who are often not even close to being worth the time and efforts you invest into aiding or supporting them. It is possible that these individuals perceive your sympathy as a good opportunity to use your resources for their own needs, and thus may exploit your kindness for the sole reason of fulfilling their own aspirations.

Leading a donkey

A dream in which you picture yourself being followed by a donkey as if you were confidently leading the animal’s way, is considered to be a rather favorable omen. It foretells that in the upcoming future you would be faced with a challenging situation or task but would have no problem in successfully keeping it under control. An alternative interpretation of such a dream states that the described vision could be foretelling a serious argument or conflict between you and the person with whom you are currently engaged in a romantic relationship. However, regardless of this approaching conflict’s magnitude, it is very likely that you would successfully defuse it quickly and painlessly for both parties.

A dead donkey

A dream vision in which you happen to see a dead donkey is usually interpreted as an alarming and unfavorable omen regardless of any related details, such as the circumstances that have led you to the animal’s body. This sign foretells that in the upcoming future you could commit a wrongful or even unlawful act, either on your own or while being a part of a group of people. This questionable attitude would eventually bring a lot of emotional turmoil and significant disappointments both for you and to the people you care about.

Kicking a donkey

Dreaming of yourself using physical force on a donkey, such as when beating it with a stick for its ruthless and stubborn behavior or when kicking the animal in a sudden burst of anger, could be a vision reflecting your attitude regarding the closest members of your family and household. Most likely, you are keen to control all of their steps and actions, seldom providing the independence and space for self-organization that they may want or need. Perhaps, such an attitude on your part could often be the cause of conflicts and arguments, even when there is no objective basis for said confrontations.

Buying a donkey

A dream in which you come into possession of a donkey, either through purchasing the animal, receiving it as a gift or even just finding a stray and adopting it, is considered to be a vision imbued with favorable predictions. It foretells that in the upcoming future you could deservedly acquire an impressive social status and authority thanks to such personal traits as fairness, kindness and ability to embrace the opinions and beliefs of other people. The described attitude is fit for a leader, but remember that such a status inevitably comes hand in hand with the burden of responsibility for your followers, people who have put their trust and love into your persona.

A donkey as a toy

Seeing a child's toy or stuffed animal that resembles a donkey may be a sign that someone in your social group has been taking advantage of everyone else's good will and patience. This individual could be making rude comments and observations or making life difficult for other members of the group. Your continued association with this ornery man or woman may cause others to distance themselves from both of you because they find you guilty by association. While you may have no difficulty discovering who the party at fault is, breaking your connection with them may prove more difficult.

A bray of a donkey

If you happen to see a dream featuring a donkey braying, regardless of the specific events and circumstances that resulted in the animal’s cries, be aware that such a vision could be an omen foretelling you could be publicly shamed or humiliated by a rude and ignorant individual in the upcoming future. The person in question could end up being in your social circle almost accidentally, but the direct opposite is also possible when this individual could have been carefully making his way to you with a long-harbored intent of insulting you in the most painful way available. An alternative interpretation of such a dream indicates you could start a whole new and extremely complex project in the nearest future. This undertaking would demand a lot of physical and emotional resources on your part and cause a multitude of minor troubles before finally reaching its successful completion.

The described vision, however, has a different interpretation if in your dream you have heard the donkey's bray coming from a distance. This is considered be a favorable sign indicating that you would be able to finish your projects and fulfill your goals in a rather quick and effective manner. Additionally, the said undertakings are likely to result in a solid financial reward once finished, besides any other related types of profit like a social status improvement, for example. Although it is hard to predict whether these accomplishments would be lasting and consistent, they would surely improve your general quality of life for a while.

Riding a donkey

Regardless of any additional circumstances and details, a dream in which you see yourself riding a donkey is a sign foretelling you would soon acquire new skills and knowledge through a journey to a certain place you have never visited before, yet could have long desired to do so. For example, this could be related to a trip to a distant country in the pursuit of a profitable business opportunity or admission to some professional courses abroad. However, if you have dreamed of someone other than yourself riding a donkey, this could be a vision indicating that your closest family circle is currently experiencing certain hardships and minor problems that are unlikely to develop into something serious, no matter how troubling they may look at the moment.

The described vision of being mounted on a donkey could also be a reflection of your adamant personality and strong will. It is very likely that you are a natural born leader who knows how to inspire, motivate and guide others in the direction that would be the most beneficial both for their personal success and for the whole team. This is the reason why people readily follow your advice and are always happy to take part in any projects you may start. However, the main drawback of this otherwise great personality trait is that you have a certain inclination towards manipulating people even in cases when this could be easily avoided and absolutely not necessary.

Herding a donkey

Dreaming of yourself amid the process of herding a donkey, such as when guiding its direction to transport the goods attached to its back, is often considered to be an alarming sign.

However, it could be that you do not have any real ability to modulate or negate the actions of these oppressing individuals, and this fact is causing you significant turmoil.

Envisioning in a dream yourself drinking milk and eventually realizing it came from a donkey could be a sign indicating a significant flaw in your personality. Namely, you could often be quenching your whims and wishes at the cost of some important tasks and responsibilities bestowed upon you by your superiors. For example, you could be a person who often opts to party instead of finishing a college assignment or who watches TV shows instead of writing the yearly report your boss asked you to.

This effect may be amplified the longer you plan to be away from home.

A donkey killing a wolf

The image of a donkey killing a wolf during a dream vision, especially if it kicked its powerful legs to do so, is often interpreted as a negative symbol. It warns you to avoid paths or tasks where you would be out of your depth, unprepared or inexperienced enough to handle the work and situations presented to you.

This applies to small acts of deception, such as lying on a resume, or volunteering for a project you are not quite ready to handle yet.

A donkey falling into a swamp

The image of a donkey stumbling and falling into a murky swamp may reflect your submissive or gullible nature.

You should focus on improving your endurance and willpower so that you can find success in future endeavors.

Donkey's ears

Envisioning a donkey and focusing on the movement of its ears may reveal that there are embarrassing rumors or vicious gossip going around about you.

A black donkey

Seeing a donkey that appears to be black is often interpreted as a positive symbol in the dream world.

Many donkeys

Facing the back of a donkey while riding upon it is often interpreted as a positive symbol, especially in regards to business or your career.

Your success on projects and current responsibilities would make your boss feel comfortable giving you more important and serious tasks.

A female donkey

Dreaming about a jennet or a donkey that you perceive to be female in nature may reveal some latent fears or anxieties you hold in reality. The presence of a female donkey in the dream world could be a subconscious message that threats are lurking in your reality, setting off for fight or flight instincts. Further insight can be gained by analysing your relationship with this symbol in the vision itself. For example, riding a female donkey is more likely to indicate some great tragedy striking your family or close friends, such as death or semi-permanent estrangement. Kicking a jennet carries a slightly different connotation, indicating that others would judge your life choices or shun you, possibly leading to a change in career or living situation. Not all dreams associated with female donkeys are bad though. Watching a female donkey carry a heavy load is often thought to predict financial success and loving adoration.

A miniature donkey

Donkeys commonly represent a person's stubbornness and unyielding character. It could also symbolize one's endurance to any hardships in life.

You have a penchant for being biased and think everyone outside your culture needs to improve some aspects of their personality.

Donkey attacking

An animal represented by a donkey attacking you in a dream represents the great force or energy that would be required to make things happen in wake life. You may have to exert more energy or pressure than usual, using stricter actions to get those around you to cooperate and support you in your goals. For example, during this period, it may be more difficult to get your spouse, children or flat mates to do their share of the cleaning, requiring you to nag at them until they give in and do what you ask.

Baby donkey

According to biblical dream workers, the image of a baby donkey or foal represents being able to grow into a specific role. While you may not know what that special something in your life would be, you should be assured that you are learning what you need to fulfill your purpose on this Earth, just like the donkey that carried the Holy Mother into Bethlehem.
