Feet
To dream of seeing your own feet, is ominous of despair. You will be overcome by the will and temper of another. It signifies your need to be more practical and sensible. Keep both feet on the ground.
Alternatively, it represents mobility, independence and freedom. Perhaps you have taken a step in the right direction and are contemplating your goals or your next step.
The sole of the foot may be a pun of being or feeling like the only support of some person/situation. Consider also the pun of "putting your foot in your mouth".
To dream that you are washing your feet, signifies that you will let others take advantage of you.
To see others' feet, denotes that you will maintain your rights in a pleasant, but determined way, and win for yourself a place above the common walks of life.
To dream that your feet are hurting you, portends troubles of a humiliating character, as they usually are family quarrels.
To see your feet swollen and red, you will make a sudden change in your business by separating from your family.
This is an evil dream, as it usually foretells scandal and sensation.
On a positive note, the people of India believe that to dream of the feet may symbolize divine qualities since the feet are considered the holiest part of the body.
