Tired donkey
A donkey at the end of its day's load — patient labour finally showing the weight it has carried.
A tired donkey in a dream is the dream's image of patient labour finally showing the weight it has been carrying. The donkey did not complain in the morning; it complains, if at all, only at the end. The dream brings the tired donkey when something in your life — a long-standing duty, a household head, a quiet worker — has reached the point where the patience is visibly used up. A tired donkey unloaded and rested is the dream affirming that the burden has been noticed in time. A tired donkey forced back under the saddle one more trip is the dream noting that the patience was treated as inexhaustible, and the creature that carried the household is no longer able to do so.
