Bridle
The bridle is control over a powerful thing — restraint and direction held in the hand. In dreams it can mark an enterprise full of worry that ends, at last, in pleasure. The dream tends to touch the steering of something strong-willed, and to ask what we are trying to rein and guide, and whether we have the hold to do it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bridle, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a bridle, denotes you will engage in some enterprise which will afford much worry, but will eventually terminate in pleasure and gain. If it is old or broken you will have difficulties to encounter, and the probabilities are that you will go down before them.
A blind bridle signifies you will be deceived by some wily enemy, or some woman will entangle you in an intrigue.
