Seeing a donkey in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Seeing a donkey in a dream is interpreted in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation as a person's means of livelihood, steady effort at work, provision earned with patience and travel. A healthy, obedient donkey points to ease in your affairs and abundance, while a donkey braying harshly or acting stubbornly points to an unpleasant remark or a delay that requires patience.
