I dreamt that I went shopping with my mom. We were in the shoe section and I was all excited to get new shoes. It wasn’t very organized. It was just a BIG messy pile of shoes. I ended up getting several pairs of shoes but I was most excited about a pair of bright orange cowboy boots. Why would my mom be buying me bright orange cowboy boots? –Trinity 20, Provo, UT

Lauri: Shopping in a dream usually means you are in the market to bring something new into your life. Your Mom is the one taking you shopping so this may actually have to do with your own role as Mom. Has becoming a mom made you realize you need different things in your life than you used to? Shoes in dreams are all about the direction you are going and the steps it takes to get there. The mess of shoes is a good indication that there was a lot of indecision in your life ... until recently. The cowboy boots represent the new direction your life is taking, a direction you “wrangled” up for yourself. Orange can refer to good health and cheer.

Trinity replies: I’ve been a stay-at-home mom until recently. I had this dream soon after I got the job. There was a lot of indecision about whether it would be best for me to work or stay home with my kids. But the new job is going well and it seems to really be benefiting all of us. And I “wrangled” it up myself!
