DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.

SHOES : Shoes are symbols of your own personal determination to head in a particular direction. They tend to link to a wish to put a lot of effort into achieving something immediately. Often a lack of shoes shows that you wish you could head in the direction you wish. Our dream studies have shown that dreams with shoes in have occurred at times when you have been thinking about your direction in life or you are thinking about the effort you are putting into something.

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Have you decided to put a lot of effort into achieving something?
- Are you trying to show how keen you are?

KEY WORDS : Effort, resolve, direction

KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :
- "I am really trying to put a lot of EFFORT into this"
- "I know what I want but right now I seem unable to head in that DIRECTION"
- "Its not exactly WHAT I WANT TO DO"
- "I am trying to show how keen I am"
- "I know now exactly what I want to do"
- "I know WHAT I WANT TO DO but lack confidence"
- "I am going to put in a lot of EFFORT into achieving this"

Below you will see a series of quotes. Each quote represents the meaning of a particular dream(these are all dreams where the meaning is understood totally). For instance one dream may have meant that the dreamer was having trouble at work. In that case the quote may simply be "There is a bad atmosphere at work". Some information is included about which dream symbols were included in the dream(within the squares brackets). Often a sample dream is included which shows you how the dream interpretation was reached.
