Anyone had that? This morning, I dreampt I was barefoot at work. In my waking life, I wear steel-toed shoes at work. In the dream, I was walking around barefoot and talking to someone, and then I had to go outside in the snow. My feet were warm. I was thinking how cool it was to do that, then I woke up. I had other dreams when I was a kid, a repeating dream of being barefoot at school. Anyone else dream about being barefoot?
I had a dream that I was working at a some sort of stand, possibly frozen lemonade, it was near the beach and it was snowing however it was very warm out. I was in a pair of shorts and a t shirt, I was not barefoot oddly enough but I was wearing flipflops. In reality when it snows here its very cold and I must also wear steel toe shoes at work. I hate steel toe shoes, they are the most miserable things I have ever had to deal with, although I have never had them protect me so maybe my opinion of them will change one day, but I still will never like wearing them. If money were no object that frozen lemonade stand on the beach would be nice right about now.
In my dreams when I picture myself I am usually barefoot. You have pointed out something that I had never really thought about. Thinking about it, I have had dreams when I worked in the corporate world and wore a suit or slacks and a tie, I was barefoot in the dream. I would awake immediately and try to get my bearings. :leaving: Subtle message I hated the suit and tie and wanted to be barefoot. I also wear workboots in my job. I absolutely abhor workboots. I have had a varied work history. I need to work in a garden doing something that I enjoy. That why I could be barefoot 24/7.arty:
That is, in fact, what I do much of the time in Maine, and it allows 24/7 freedom almost all the time. I have related activities which also allow me the freedom. Go for it if you can. The limiting factor here being the increasingly short part of the year when we still get extreme cold, and then those few places which I must don flops. No one tries to get me out of my shorts and into longs. Ever. EDIT: I just noticed where you're from. Of course you could garden all year bf and in shorts there! There are some good things about living in Katrina Hell. I wouldn't want the humid hot climate, but the year-roundness is a payoff---
Given that I've been barefoot 24/7:365 for 14 years, it's normal for me to be barefoot in my dreams as well. Funny enough, just last night, I had a dream (the first, as far as I can recall) in which I was wearing shoes. The odd thing was that in my dream, I did not seem to mind it, while in reality, wearing even the softest, most roomy shoes feel like wearing boxing gloves while trying to play the piano.
Being barefoot pops up in my dreams from time to time. This past week, I had some kind of weird dream where I was laying flat on my stomach and I could feel a hand remove my socks but could'nt tell who took them off.
I've had them where some girl was putting her feet in my face. Too much thinking about my footfetish before going to bed I guess.
Sounds really neat Deadguy, even though I have a foot fetish I rarely have dreams like that one. The way I fantasize about female feet I ought to have those every night. Oh well. I love female feet but I don't know why.
Even though since August I haven't been barefoot outside at all, I still have dreams of being barefoot in public. I've been without shoes in pretty much any place you can think of in my dreams, including school, which will never happen (and that's a good thing). Don't worry, they'll materialize when the thermometer stays above 60.
I don't know why I do either. Trying to explain it is like trying to explain my favorite color or food.
No dreams about barefooting, but strangely I do have dreams--more like nightmares--where I find myself wearing shoes and socks! Also, there was a time a year and a half ago when I went on a barefoot streak for 70 straight days. During that time I would sometimes dream that I had inexplicably put on flip-flops for no reason and destroyed the streak. Now that I'm gunning to be either in flip-flops or bare feet for all of 2008 (no socks or close-toed shoes at all), I sometimes have dreams where I am wearing shoes and socks. Thankfully, it *only* happens in my dreams.
Aah, I had a dream like that last night! It was so beautiful outside, and I thought, "Hey, what a nice day to take my shoes off for once!" I took them off and could feel the ground... Ah, how nice. But then, suddenly, the sensation felt muffled, and I had socks on. I peeled them off, and went on, but they kept coming back on! It was kind of irritating. I woke up pretty quickly, though.
In high school I would sometimes have dreams that I would show up at school barefoot and without a top on. I would be enjoying the sensation of being barefoot on the cold tiles at school, but at the same time be panicking because I was topless.
I've drempt about being barefoot in school, but that was when I was a kid. Lately, I've had a few dreams of being barefoot -- in one, I had to straighten out my toes because wearing shoes too much scrunched them. In another dream, I was jogging through my neighborhood with shoes and socks on. I stopped, took them off, and continued running barefoot. (In the dream, there was melting snow and lots of puddles in the street.) Winter's been entirely too long this time. Barefoot dreaming just tells me I want warmer weather already.
I'm jealous of you all remembering your dreams! I never seem to remember mine (heavy sleeper) so i don't know if i'm barefoot or not!
I'm usually not even aware of my own body in dreams. I just kind of float around and sometimes know how to fly in order to go somewhere else.
I also occasionally -a handful of times over the years- dream I'm wearing shoes. Normally I'm not aware of what I'm wearing and since barefoot is my normal thing, that's probably what I am in the rest of my dreams too... only those times I wasn't barefoot I noticed. Unlike you, I did mind it though, those times I dreamed I was wearing shoes; I wondered what I was doing in shoes in the first place & took them off! I can't remember my dreams from when I just started going barefoot, I usually recall my dreams pretty well but it's been eleven years for me too, I don't really remember whether I had any dreams where I was insecure about it at first... also I started going barefoot 24/7 from the very first week on, so I never had any time in my life I went barefoot a lot in public but still wore shoes in school/work.
I guess from an online dream decider, to dream that you are barefoot means that you are carefree. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
