An interpretation of foot dreams

An interpretation of foot dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Feet in a dream can refer to where you “stand,” meaning convictions, values, issues, beliefs, opinions, and principles. We say that a person “stands” for one thing or another, such as, “I stand for family values.” Someone may “make a stand.” The symbolism can be similar to the foundation of a house. Your feet are what you stand on, and in the larger sense what you stand on is your character and personality, your personal foundation. Your feet are closest to the ground. If you’re “grounded” it means you are “down to earth” and steady. See: Basements The symbolism is expressed in the saying “feet of clay,” meaning built atop a weak foundation. Dreams can take that idea and run with it to describe a relationship, plans, thought processes, willpower, empires, and so on. Feet are associated with movement. Movement in the symbolic sense means movement in your life, “going places.” “Step up” means rise in authority, status, or prestige. “Step on” means to dominate or disrespect. “Out of step” means out of sync. Dreams will show these uses of symbolism through the actions and other details. See: Cars, Climbing Movement in a dream shows the progressions of your life, the incremental movements and the leaps and bounds, and action with the feet can help tell the story. Movement up, down, forward, backward, and everything in between is symbolism, and if your feet take you there, the symbolism can combine to really tell the story. See: Backwards, Rightness Feet are associated with social position. People of high social position have others “fall at their feet.” The same action of falling at someone’s feet can symbolize admiration, groveling, gratitude, or supplication. The symbolism can show in washing or massaging feet. Mangled or bruised feet can symbolize low status or position. It can symbolize a hard road in life, or taking a beating. See: Servants, Wounds Dreaming about injury to the feet can mean your ability to move your life forward is hindered. It can mean illness or anything that “knocks you off your feet.” Plucking hair from your feet can symbolize preparing for something. For example, a young man getting ready to go back to college after summer break dreams about plucking long hairs from his feet. The long hair symbolizes a long summer he just spent being idle, and plucking it symbolizes his mental preparation to get busy again. Plucking hair, in his mind, is associated with preparation. Feet can symbolize willingness to take action. The symbolism compounds when your willingness is based on your convictions, beliefs, and values, such as willingness to tell people about your religion or spread the Gospel. The symbolism is based both on feet meaning willingness to take action, and meaning personal foundation. Toes can symbolize something overlooked. They are furthest on your body from your eyes and hidden inside socks and shoes most of the time. Toes are easy to overlook. Toes are used for balance and can connect with your personal balance, especially the big toe. They can symbolize something small that’s essential for everything it connects to, such as when a secretary makes the office run. Toes can symbolize something you count. For example, you dream about having three toes on your right foot and two on left. It symbolizes that you think three of your children turned out right, and two have more to prove. Toes can be used as an analogy for roots of a tree. See: Roots See also: Amputations, Backwards, Ballet, Basements, Body parts, Cars, Climbing, Floors, Rightness, Roots, Running, Shoes
