To dream that you are pushing something suggests energy and drive to succeed in life. Consider also how you, or someone you know in waking life, may be a ‘pushover’. To dream that you are being pushed signifies that you are under some sort of pressure, or feel coerced into doing something. Alternatively, it implies that you feel you don’t have enough time to complete a task perfectly.

The meaning of this dream changes according to the object being pushed. So if it is something heavy, you will need to prioritize your interests over the abuses of others; but if it is light, a tendency to conformity becomes apparent. To push a person reveals your guilt for having acted irresponsibly.

You are warned against mixing in loose company if you dream of pushing people or things.
