Our ability, or otherwise, to be grounded and in touch with everyday life is symbolized in dreams by shoes.
Shoes that we, or others, are wearing in a dream are there to alert us to an adjustment that needs to be made in our attitude to life. Lacing up shoes in a dream was once thought to be a well-known symbol of death as were shoes on a table.
Today, these images are much more likely to indicate change is necessary.
