Barefoot Dream Meaning

Dreaming Lens: Were you barefoot in the dream, or was someone else’s feet exposed? Was there a reason you didn’t have shoes on, or were you searching for them? Was there danger in being barefoot, or did it feel good and give you a sense of freedom?

Personal Focus: Feet connect to how grounded you feel. They can also indicate issues around how you are maneuvering through your current life choices. There is a direct connection between where you put your feet and where you go. If they are exposed to the elements, it leaves them vulnerable to injury. This can have a great impact on your journey and how you get to where you intend to go. It is important to remember that vulnerability implies easy access to impact and not whether that impact is “good” or “bad.” A person walking barefoot on broken glass is vulnerable to being cut, whereas a person walking barefoot on grass is vulnerable to the ticklish sensations that might result and can be considered pleasurable.

Consider all the possible cultural and societal nuances that might affect how this image when it is interpreted. There are many people for whom having the foot visible is an erotic turn-on. Additionally, many yogic traditions require bare feet in order for the body to effectively process energy. In many cultures, it is customary to remove shoes when indoors as a sign of respect. Removing shoes can also be a symbol of freedom and liberation. The same liberation, however, can connect a person to a self-conscious awareness of odor that builds up from prolonged confinement of the feet in shoes, reflecting a resistance to feeling more free.

Bare feet are more connected to the ground. In a dream, this can indicate being more grounded, or that a more grounded approach to some life situation is necessary. This image also connotes feeling more “down to Earth” and implies being laid back and relaxed.

Consider the context of the dream first.

For example, there is nothing unusual about walking barefoot on the beach, but walking barefoot on a roadway might indicate exposing oneself to harm.

Sensitivity. Feeling the grass between your toes, and really experiencing life to the fullest.

Freedom and liberation. Tossing oft’your shoes is like being released from a cage or other material bonds.

Among ascetics, the ability to walk your path confidently and safely because you know it so intimately.

Fire-walking barefoot reveals an ability within to accomplish any task to which you set your mind, no matter how impossible it may initially seem.

If one sees himself traveling barefooted, it represents a debt that he could not repay.

If one sees himself walking with one foot bare and the second fitted in the dream, it means breaking up a business partnership.
