A dream about shoes that hurt your feet - dream meaning with inherited lore
You may be looking forward to a new role or a change, while part of you still feels uneasy and out of place.
The more you walk in your new shoes, the tighter they feel, or the more your heels rub and hurt. You hesitate over whether to keep them on or take them off, and sometimes stop walking.
Korean lore: Traditionally, new shoes have sometimes been interpreted in connection with a new position or changed circumstances. A scene where those shoes hurt may also reflect the strain of adjusting to change. (This interpretation draws on a folk tradition of reading shoes in connection with one’s circumstances or path in life.)
Through the mind: This scene may come to mind when you’ve started a new role or relationship but aren’t sure yet whether it suits you. You might also quietly reflect on whether there’s anything you’ve been forcing yourself to put up with lately.
