What does my crazy shoe dream mean?
Read on to find out!
Dreams about shoes
A shoe dream is about your connection to the earth and to your surroundings. Our feet touch the earth and take us on our life journey and our shoes are the medium to make that connection. Sometimes we are barefoot, which can be positive or negative based on the comfort of the terrain. The types of shoes that were worn, the condition and colour of the shoes and the comfort of the shoes can all mean different things.
Wearing the wrong shoes
A dream where you were wearing the wrong shoes means that you are not comfortable in your current environment. This could be a job role or a relationship, it means that you are not currently connecting with your life path.
If you were wearing your shoes on the wrong feet it may mean that you need to reverse your direction, stop what you are doing and consider how you can put things right. If you carry on, things will not get better.
If you dreamed that you were wearing someone else's shoes, you are feeling uncomfortable with your position. If you are forced to wear someone else's shoes, you need to review your relationships and leave or change the situation that you are in. If you are willingly wearing someone else's shoes the dream is telling you that it is time to set your own path and goals. You are an individual and only your own shoes will truly fit you.
Wearing uncomfortable shoes
If you dreamed about wearing uncomfortable shoes then it is time to make some changes in your life. You need to set your needs as a priority because if you are unable to move forward you will be unable to help anyone else!
Tight shoes mean that you are restricting yourself, you need to invest in yourself. Perhaps you need to get some training and broaden your horizons, you are capable of doing more.
Dreaming about wearing shoes that rub means that you are doing the same task over and over. You need to spend some time relaxing and consider some alternative ways to achieve your goals.
If the shoes were too big in your dream, your expectations are not realistic and this is hampering your progress in life. Slow down and give yourself a break from the pressure.
Wearing comfortable shoes
If you were aware of wearing comfortable shoes in your dream, this is very positive and means that you are in the right place and everything is going as planned.
Losing your shoes
If you dreamt about losing your shoes, your are worried that you will lose your identity and your connection with the earth. If you deliberately took off your shoes then you are ready you connect with nature but if the shoes were stolen then your enemies are trying to interfere with your progress in life. A dream about looking for shoes means that you are trying to reinvent yourself, perhaps you have moved and are looking for a new challenge.
If you lost one of your shoes this may represent that you have lost a partner. You are looking for the prefect match.
Finding some shoes
When you find shoes in a dream, you are finding a new role in life, perhaps you have just found a new job or relationship. If you give the shoes away, you must ask yourself if this represents you giving too much of your life to others or if you were already able to support yourself.

Dream Interpretation
Here is a dream interpretation of a shoe dream. In this dream the dreamer had lost a shoe and was looking for the other one. The dreamer knew that the other shoe was in the city and in a big hole under the underground, surrounded by sand and lots of other shoes that people had lost. The dreamer no longer lives in the city and finds themselves wandering the streets looking for the shoe. After 3 days the dreamer realises that they no longer need the shoe as they are now wearing dancing shoes. It is raining in the city and the dreamer decides to leave and go back to their new home.
What does this dream mean?
The dreamer found themselves going down memory lane, visiting the city and looking for a lost partner -the other shoe. The dreamer knew where the shoe was but it was buried and it was not alone there were lots of other lost shoes there. The dreamer realises that they no longer need the shoe or the relationship. The dreamer is happy in the dance shoes. The dreamer also realises that they no longer want to be in the city, they have moved on with life.
