Footprints

Dreaming about your own footprints going the wrong way

What does it mean to dream you find your own tracks?

Reported by a minority and it belongs closer to the second-self material than to the rest of this record.

The prints are the dreamer's, and they are already ahead, or leading back the way they came, or going somewhere they have not been. Dreamers describe checking their own feet against them.

Where the reports stop at puzzlement they sit here. Where they carry the sense of another version of the dreamer having been there, the doppelganger and second-self entries treat that properly and the reports there are considerably more frightening.

Which of the two you had is usually clear from the feeling rather than the image, and that is what to record.

Where this reads well

Sorting the two apart is achievable from the report and changes what you are looking at.

Where it is harder

The second-self version is among the more disturbing things people describe.

Worth asking yourself

Were they mine? Where were they going? Did it feel like somebody else had been there?

Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
