Why dream of trying on shoes: interpretation

Interpretation according to Gustav Miller's dream book

Miller believes that dreams in which you try on shoes are associated with changes awaiting you in the near future. But he interprets these changes depending on the details of the dream. To the question of why one dreams of trying on shoes, Miller’s dream book answers as follows:

try on new beautiful shoes in a dream - expect an improvement in your financial condition due to an increase in wages;
if these are old shoes, then trying on such shoes in a dream means that you have envious people and ill-wishers who want to prevent you from achieving your goal;
if the dreamer sees that someone else is trying on his shoes, such a vision may be a harbinger of betrayal by one of the spouses or the appearance of a third party in the relationship of a couple in love.

Trying on old boots

Veles explains why you dream of trying on old and well-worn shoes. Such a plot means that at present you feel quite strong mental fatigue and heaviness. Veles's Dream Book recommends abstracting from what is happening around you and trying to understand yourself. A clear understanding of what you want and what should be done for it will allow you to successfully overcome a mental crisis.

To see in a dream how you are walking along the road in shoes that are falling apart as you go - to a difficult path in life. If you dream about something like this, then very soon you will be forced to deal with a huge number of problems and find ways out of a number of difficult situations.

Interpretation according to Medea's dream book

Medea's dream book gives us its interpretation of dreams. According to this collection, trying on shoes means the following:

If you try on someone else's shoes, it means that in reality you should pay attention to the advice of others.
If the shoes are new, expect an improvement in your financial situation.
Trying on a large number of new shoes symbolizes that in reality the dreamer has many opportunities to implement his plan.
Trying on old shoes in a dream means that trouble will soon come in your life.

Dream interpretation for love and relationships

Miller's dream book symbolizes trying on someone else's shoes with a long-suffering and dejected end to a relationship with a significant other. But, if the shoes looked beautiful and rich, then fun and many pleasures will soon await you, for which you will have to pay. Someone else's shoes on different feet indicate that another frivolous flirtation will result in dishonor and shame. It's time to come to your senses and stop doing ridiculous things. Wearing someone else's shoes on only one foot is a sign that in the near future you risk becoming an object of jealousy.

Dream Interpretation of Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima

If the shoes you try on in a dream press your feet, this is a sign to the dreamer that difficulties will arise in his affairs, since he did not take care of making the necessary decisions in time.
If the shoes are too big, Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima explain such a dream. Trying on large shoes, in their opinion, is a dream to think about in reality. This plot warns you that you have too many plans that you will not be able to implement. You need to review them and stop at one thing and try to finish the job you started.
If the shoes you try on in a dream are sports, you will have to hurry up with your affairs.
To dream that a stranger is trying on your shoes is a bad sign. This is a warning that in real life someone is aiming for your position.

Predictions from Miller's dream book

Miller is convinced that dreaming about trying on and buying black shoes and clothes is an extremely bad sign. You should prepare yourself in advance for the coming streak of failures. The dream book prophesies numerous disappointments, adversity, and losses. Remember, inner confidence that everything will turn out well in the end will help you overcome despondency.

Miller’s dream book also knows what foreshadows a woman trying on men’s shoes in her night dreams. In this case, the dreamer definitely takes on many more responsibilities than she should. If a representative of the fair sex dreams that she has men’s shoes on her feet, then in reality she needs to be more gentle in communicating with people around her.

Interpretation according to different dream books

Vanga's dream book promises a woman who sees such a dream an acquaintance with a man, which will most likely develop into intimacy. But if a person tries on shoes that are too small for him, this means that there are people in his life with whom he would like to sever all relationships.
Freud, as always, is not very original in his interpretations. If the dreamer tries on several pairs of shoes and finds it difficult to make a choice, this dream promises him to soon have sexual relations with several people at once.
According to Hasse's dream book, such visions predict long trips. This can be either a trip or a business trip.
According to the Modern Dream Book, trying on shoes in a dream definitely means traveling. But if the shoes in the dream are clean, the trip will be successful, but if, on the contrary, they are dirty, you will encounter many difficulties along the way.
The Chinese dream book warns men: if someone tries on your shoes in a dream, you may find out about your wife’s infidelity.
The esoteric dream book considers a night vision in which you are trying on or choosing new shoes to be a harbinger of your receiving profits from a successful undertaking in the near future.
According to Veles’s dream book, a dream in which your shoes are too small indicates that in real life the job that you will be offered will not be to your liking.

Dream Interpretation of Fedorovskaya

The healer Fedorovskaya, who compiled this dream book, describes in detail both the positive and negative meanings of this image. If a sleeping person sees that he is wearing new shoes, then in the future he may receive a new position. Old shoes, on the other hand, mean serious failure.

Did you buy shoes in a dream? This means that in reality you will soon have to look for a new job. Selling shoes means an unexpected meeting with an old acquaintance whom you have not seen for a long time. If a sleeping person throws away his boots or shoes in a dream, then soon he will be faced with a major scandal or conflict in the workplace.

Is another person selling or buying shoes in a dream? This symbol warns the dreamer that one of his close people may soon change his job.

Why dream of trying on shoes: nuances

As in any other dreams, in night visions where you try on shoes, there are many nuances that must be taken into account when interpreting them. Let's look at some of them.

A person in a dream can try on shoes with heels - these dreams are usually associated with his intimate relationships.
You can try on your own shoes or someone else’s in a dream. Some dream books interpret such a plot as a warning about possible betrayal, while others say that the dreamer himself is jealous of the success of his friends.
There are dreams in which you try on many different shoes. Here, as in the previous case, the plots are interpreted in two ways. Some dream books foretell you the presence of various paths leading to achieving your goal, while others talk about the dreamer’s indecision.
If the shoes you try on in a dream are mismatched, this indicates possible sadness and loneliness in the near future.
Shoes in a dream may have holes in the soles. This is a dream of breaking up a love relationship or divorce.
Both the setting and the place in which you find yourself matter. Let's say a girl had a similar vision. Trying on dress shoes in a store in a dream means you will soon meet an interesting young man. However, if she doesn’t buy this pair of shoes as a result, the relationship with him may not last long.

Implications for work and business

The dream book of Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima does not give the most typical interpretation of what he saw in a night dream. Trying on and trying someone else's shoes symbolizes success in the planned business if they suit the person watching the dream. If other people's boots are not attractive or too tight, difficulties may arise on the path to the ideal. You will have to work hard to overcome obstacles. Those who had to see someone else's men's shoes in a dream will have to look for a way out of an extraordinary situation. The dream book also interprets negatively a dream in which a person ruined someone else’s shoes with his own hands while trying them on. In this case, you should prepare for quarrels at work and conflicts with your boss.

According to Simeon Prozorov’s dream book, a hole seen on a shoe symbolizes troubles with well-being. To prevent your dream from coming true, imagine yourself buying new beautiful shoes.

Interpretation of a dream involving trying on shoes depending on their color

Color is always important and will help to correctly interpret night vision.

red or burgundy shoes in a dream are an indication of the dreamer’s bright and extraordinary personality, and trying them on or buying them - the dream promises a bright and passionate romance. But the main thing is to remember what they were like - if they were clean and beautiful, and most importantly strong in appearance, then the relationship lasted a long time, but if they were dirty and full of holes - accordingly, do not expect anything good from your partner;
white in a dream is an indication that you are going the right way, achieving your goals is just around the corner and you can achieve everything with the right, honest actions, but not with deception. If these are wedding shoes, they promise a quick marriage for unmarried people, and a meeting with their first love for married people;
to see black in your night vision - strange as it may seem, this is a sign of good luck in the business field, profitable deals. But it will often be achieved through dishonest means and fraud. If they are wearing heels - a romantic rendezvous, which will end in a long-lasting relationship, but to receive it as a gift - success in everything;
blue ones promise material wealth and well-being, personal life will improve. For an unmarried woman, the dream promises the appearance of a potential gentleman on the horizon, for married women - a strong marriage and harmonious relationships; pink – warning. This is advice - talk less about your life to unfamiliar people. Otherwise, gossip cannot be avoided, which can tarnish the dreamer’s reputation and thereby nullify all his endeavors;
yellow - everything will be fine with you, you are going the right way. It's like a sign - rays of light illuminate your path and guide you in the right direction. If you see them on your feet - the dream promises good luck, on someone - this person will become your faithful friend who will not leave you in difficult times and will help in everything; see golden ones - an unexpected meeting with a high-ranking official who will play an important role in your life or you will receive an expensive gift.

According to the interpreter’s predictions, wearing someone else’s shoes in a dream means that in reality you are trying to hide your own emotions or a depressing secret from others. If the shoes were squeezing your foot, then the secret will certainly be revealed, and if the shoes in the dream were true to size, then keep the secret to yourself. Putting on the shoes of someone from your family is a hint that in reality you are not hearing a cry for help from a loved one. Try to hear these calls and help. If you dreamed about washing someone else’s shoes, an event will happen that will affect your intentions.
