Footprints

Footprint, Footprints in the sand, Tracks in the snow

A trail of footprints tells a quiet story: someone was here, and they were heading somewhere. In a dream, prints are about traces of the past, the people who walked a path before you and what remains once a moment is gone. Following the prints can mean you're looking for guidance, perhaps from someone who has already been down the same road. Your own footprints stretching out behind you invite a look back at how far you've come. Prints that end suddenly, or wash away in the rain, hint that a lead has gone cold and the next stretch is yours to map.
