A donkey in a dream can symbolize patience. If you dream about a donkey, it can mean that you can achieve your goal, but only after long, hard work.
If you dream about a donkey carrying a heavy load, you may feel that you have been burdened with too much responsibility. A dream that someone else is riding a donkey can mean that you feel that you are doing all the work while someone else is getting a “free ride”.
A donkey is a symbol of stubbornness, so a donkey in a dream can be a sign that you are being stubborn about something, and that you need to be more open-minded. However, a dream about a donkey can also be a message that if you focus your will and do not allow yourself to be distracted, you will achieve your goal.
The donkey is associated with Christ.
