If you see a donkey in your dreams, this primarily means that you go through a difficult time at the moment, but the future looks promising and sooner or later you will get rid of the 'burden' you are currently carrying on your shoulders.

A donkey in your dream may represent more aspects of your personality, mainly related to the main characteristics of the animal. Physically, the donkey is the animal who carries many burdens and weights, therefore this may be an indicator of the fact that if you dream of a donkey, then you are very hard working and industrious, you should reconsider the reasons why you strive so hard and become more aware of the fact that you are just a 'beast of burden'. Donkeys in dreams may also mean that you have an increased strength and endurance and should count on these physical qualities when thinking about taking up such jobs.

On the other hand, we should not forget about the donkey's proverbial stubbornness - consequently, this may be a forewarning that you should become more agreeable, tolerant and open-minded if you do not want to lose your friends and close ones. The stubbornness of the donkey may also be a marker for one's lack of communication and sociability.

If someone else is riding a donkey in your dream, this means that you are doing all the 'hardworking' in a relationship and you are the only one striving that the certain relation goes well and that you and the friend/lover do not go apart. Try analyzing things more deeply and see if it is really worth giving so much without receiving anything else in exchange. Also, falling off the donkey or being thrown off the animal is a negative predictor for a failed love affair which is going to end up soon.

If you yourself ride the donkey this signifies that you are aware of your humble position and you accept it without fighting to prove that you can do better than that.

Being kicked by a donkey mirrors your involvement in illicit affairs which will bring you much fear, anxiety, many worries and concerns and even paranoiac thoughts. Also, your 'dirty' affairs are not likely to turn out well if you see a donkey kicking you in your dream.

Leading a donkey by the halter is a metaphor for your abilities to guide and control people, like being the leader of a working team etc. You are very good at convincing people to do what you say and see things the way you see them.

The donkey may also appear as a sexual symbol, revealing virility. If a woman dreams of a donkey, this may speak about her hidden desire to have sexual intercourse with a well-built, massive, not necessarily smart man - in conclusion, her desire to be sexually dominated by a primitive man.
