What Does Horse Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a horse means power and drive. Ridden it is control; running loose it is force without direction.
The horse is strength that can be directed but does not have to be. In dreams it usually stands for your own energy and how you are using it.
Whether you are riding decides the reading: in the saddle means your drive is directed, a loose horse means energy running without aim.
