In certain religions, spiritual ecstasy is induced by jumping. This is a way of employing physical action in order to reach spiritual realms, and has this significance in dreams. Repetitive movement of any sort in a dream usually indicates the need to reconsider our actions, to look at what we are doing and perhaps to express ourselves in a different way. On a psychological level, jumping up and down in a dream may indicate being caught up in a situation without having the power to move either forwards or backwards. The act of jumping can be somewhat ambiguous in a dream.

Jumping on the spot can indicate joy and has the same significance as dance. You might also like to consult the entry for Dance/Dancing.
