A dream about solving a riddle suggests that you are working through a complex problem or situation in your waking life. But it's not always such a simple interpretation.
It signifies your analytical mind, your problem-solving skills, and your determination to find solutions.
Alternatively, if someone else is posing a riddle to you in your dream, it may indicate that you feel challenged or tested. It could also mean that there is a situation or person in your life that you find confusing or difficult to understand. Both of these dreams highlight the need for understanding, clarity, and resolution in your life.

Dreaming of solving a riddle may symbolize the unconscious mind's endeavor to decipher the enigma of one's own psyche, a manifestation of the self's introspective journey.
This can be a complex dream concept. It's a reflection of the ego's struggle to comprehend the id's desires and the superego's moral constraints. Conversely, being posed a riddle by another in a dream may be a representation of external forces or individuals that provoke cognitive dissonance or ambiguity in your waking life. It's a symbolic confrontation with the Other, a Freudian concept referring to anything outside of the self. Both of these dreams underscore the human psyche's inherent quest for meaning and coherence amidst the chaos of existence.

Conversely, If you've dreamt of someone else posing a riddle to you, it symbolizes the divine challenges and spiritual tests you're facing. This dream scenario suggests that the universe or a higher power is pushing you to delve deeper into your spiritual growth and evolution. Both of these dreams reflect your soul's yearning for wisdom, truth, and spiritual enlightenment amidst the complexities and mysteries of life.
