Poop
Feces, Excrement, Stepping in poop
Poop turns up in dreams far more often than anyone mentions over breakfast. Strangely, many old dream books treated it as a lucky sign, a hint that money or good fortune was on the way. Gardeners see the logic: manure looks like waste, yet it feeds next year's crop, so something unpleasant in your life could turn out to be fertile ground. Poop in the wrong place, such as on the floor or on your clothes, is a different picture: a mess that can't stay hidden much longer. How you reacted counts too. Shrugging it off shows you can handle life's less tidy moments.
