Sole

The flat underside of the foot — the surface that meets the ground every step.

A sole in a dream is the dream's image of the surface of the body that meets the ground every step. The sole is not decorative; the sole is what carries the whole weight at the precise point of contact with the world. The dream brings the sole when something in your life — a daily discipline, the practical part of a relationship, the work-facing surface of a self — is currently the part that is taking the weight and the wear. A sole callused and able to carry is the dream affirming the toughness honestly earned. A sole broken open, the wound at the point of contact, is the dream noting that the surface that carries the weight has finally failed, and walking is now the act that is making it worse.
