A Dream of Following Footprints - dream meaning with inherited lore

You walk step by step, following footprints or traces left on the road. Sometimes they're clear; other times they stop midway, leaving you to choose the way yourself.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of walking along footprints have sometimes been interpreted as referring to someone else's experience or continuing along a set path. A scene where the footprints stop may be seen as a sign that it is time to judge for yourself, since other people's standards are not enough. (In folk dream interpretations, traces left on a path have often been read as clues about precedent, connections, and the direction ahead.)

Through the mind: You may be comparing your life with the paths to success taken by people at work or around you. Having standards to learn from can help, but you may also wish to separate their pace from your own.
