A carnival in a dream is often a reminder to pay attention to your inner child and to make sure you are fulfilling that child’s needs – the need to be loved, the need to be cared for and the need to have fun and enjoy life.
If you dream that you are at a carnival, it can mean that you need to get in touch with your carefree, childlike side.
Dreaming that you are at a carnival can be a sign that you need to get away from the pressures of everyday life and take some time to enjoy yourself. It can mean that you need to escape a stressful situation.
If you dream that you are on a roller-coaster at a carnival, you may have been going through a lot of emotional ups and downs recently.
A dream that you are on a merry-go-round or carousel, or that you are on a Ferris wheel can be a sign that a situation in your life is repeating itself. Being stuck on a Ferris wheel in a dream can mean that you are feeling trap in a situation that you can’t control.
Playing a game of chance at a carnival can symbolize taking a risk in real life.
