Interpretation 2 — Nancy Wagaman

Participating in a real-life or imagined process.

For example, riding a bus with other passengers might represent working with teammates toward a shared goal (represented by the direction and destination of the bus) with a leader who’s in charge of direction (represented by the bus driver).

If you’re not helping control the direction (for example, as a passenger on a train), riding could represent “just going along for the ride” in a group activity.

If you’re controlling the direction (for example, when riding a motorcycle), riding could represent leading or being in charge of a process, yourself, or your life.

Interpretation 3 — Martha Clarke

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 HORSE)

The dream superstition estimates very good omens for this dream, especially if someone you love is riding with you.

Interpretation 6 — Ella Freeman Sharpe

A dream of riding is considered unlucky. Sometimes associated with illness such as seasickness, the result of motion.

Interpretation 7 — Eric Ackroyd

(1) Riding a horse or motorbike may symbolize (unconscious) desire for sex.

(2) An animal may represent instinctual desires; being in control of a horse or other animal may therefore symbolize control of your passions. Control may be good or bad: you must decide if your instincts are properly or excessively controlled.
