Muddy boots
Boots caked with field mud — visible evidence of honest, outdoor work.
Muddy boots in a dream are the dream's image of visible evidence of honest, outdoor work. The mud is not dirt; the mud is the record of the places the boots were used. The dream brings muddy boots when something in your life — a piece of labour, a long walk through a difficult terrain, a season of fieldwork — has left visible marks on what carries you. Muddy boots left in the porch in honour of the day's work are the dream affirming the work. Muddy boots walked into the clean part of the house are the dream noting that the boundary between work and home has not been kept, and the field is now being tracked into rooms it does not belong in.
