Walking barefoot

Barefoot, Bare feet, No shoes

Taking off your shoes removes a layer between you and the world, so walking barefoot in a dream is about simplicity and honesty. You feel every pebble and every change in the path, which can mean you want to experience life more directly. It can also leave you exposed, and how the ground felt shows which of the two you're dealing with. Soft, sun-warmed earth goes with feeling comfortable in your own skin. Walking barefoot through a city street or an office has a touch of rebellion about it: a wish to do things your own way, whatever the dress code.
