Dreaming of Shoes
shoes, heels, sneakers · mixed
Shoes speak of the path you're on: new or polished, things improve; worn, lost or untied, trouble follows.
What happens in the dream
- You have them polished: your affairs improve and an important event pleases you
- Your shoes are new: beneficial changes
- They pinch: you'll be the butt of your friends' jokes
- You lose them: desertion or separation
- They're stolen but you still have stockings: a loss offset by a gain elsewhere
- They're dirty or worn out: you'll make enemies with harsh criticism, or face hardship
- They're untied: losses, quarrels and poor health
- One shoe has a hole: jealousy will creep into your relationship
How you felt
- Uncertainty: the dream often reflects questions about which path to take
- Discomfort: it may echo a sense of not fitting your role
Ask yourself
- Do I feel comfortable in my own shoes right now?
- Which path do I want to take?
