Barefoot in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: No shoes

What it means

Unwillingness or unpreparedness to do a particular mission or assignment; also humility or entering into God's rest.

✦ When it is positive

  • Humility before God
  • Entering into God's rest (as Moses on holy ground)

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Unwillingness or unpreparedness for a mission
  • Unexpected suffering on the journey ahead

How to tell the difference

Shoes in the broader sense relate to where God is taking you and a given mission — cross-reference Ephesians 6:15. Moses being told to remove his sandals on holy ground is the primary positive biblical basis.
