Did You Dream About a Ferris Wheel? Here's What It Means

You may be experiencing a cycle of highs and lows, or feeling stuck in a repetitive pattern.

It can also represent a desire for change or excitement.

It could also symbolize feelings of nostalgia or longing for childhood innocence.

It could symbolize a repressed desire or fear that is within sight, yet remains distant and unattainable. The Ferris wheel's circular form might also symbolize the self's yearning for wholeness and completion.

It's a divine nudge to keep striving for spiritual growth and enlightenment. The Ferris wheel's circular form represents the eternal cycle of life and death, a reminder of the soul's immortality.
