What does it mean to dream about feet? |

Dreaming about feet can symbolize pain or pleasure, depending on how the person in the dream walks.

Check out more details below to help you better understand what you dreamed of.

Reflect on the context of dreaming about a foot

What feet are those? What actions do they take? What makes them call the dreamer’s attention? Are those feet shod, bare, bruised, well cared for? Do they touch the ground, land, or float?

Reflect on what the unconscious may be signaling when dreaming about feet

How do I relate to my origins? Do I feel planted in the world or do I not feel part of it? Am I satisfied with the path I chose to walk?

Understand possible applications of dreaming with feet:

Dreaming of your own feet

Dreaming about your own feet can be an attempt by the unconscious to draw attention to your own roots, the chosen paths and how they are affecting the dreamer.

Dream about injured feet

Wounded, injured feet can speak of deeper and older emotional wounds that occurred at the beginning of personality formation, and the need to observe whether such traumas are not influencing the dreamer’s life more at that moment.

Dreaming about the path you take when walking

The path that the feet travel in a dream can symbolically indicate what foundations we build to support all that we are.

Dreaming of floating feet

Feet that float can speak of a certain lack of presence and connection with life, with reality.

Dreaming of feet rooted to the ground

On the other hand, the feet that are rooted in the ground can lead both to an idea of ​​firmament, connection with reality, and to the idea of ​​paralysis and fixation on ancestral traditions and patterns.

Dreaming of Inverted Feet

Dreaming of inverted feet can show a conflict of directions for where the dreamer wants/should go and where he is actually going.

What do the feet symbolize?

Feet work as a base for the body, our contact with the ground, with the earth. Well-placed feet provide the body with support and balance in an upright position.

A person’s walk says a lot about them. Feet can be linked to pleasure or pain. From a massage to tight shoes that cause blisters, dreams can likewise contain a wide range of foot-related situations.

In mythologies and tales, we find some references related to the symbolism of the feet, such as Oedipus, the winged feet of Hermes, Cinderella and the issue surrounding the glass slipper, Curupira and his inverted feet, etc.

If we make an analogy between the body and a plant, our feet would also be our roots, and symbolically this can be a possibility within a dream.

There are many situations that differentiate the symbolism of the foot for each dreamer: having your feet hurt, barefoot, tight in shoes, walking in the sand, walking on stony ground, on hot coals, feet being tickled, a baby biting your feet… In each one of them there is a possibility of different amplification.
