Race
A race — a contest of speed — often touches others aspiring to what you're working to possess, with your competitors overcome if you win. The dream may ask where you're striving against rivals for the same prize, and whether you have the pace and endurance to come in ahead of those reaching for exactly what you're reaching for.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for race, 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 that you are in a race, foretells that others will aspire to the things you are working to possess, but if you win in the race, you will overcome your competitors.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of running a race on foot and winning it, is a sign of success in any undertaking—losing it, foretells disappointment. If you dream of going to a horse-race, it predicts poverty and shiftlessness.
