Dream: Me, Brad (husband) and the kids (Brandon and Ashli) are in a house. All the bedrooms are on the same floor. Brad went to bed and had fallen asleep in one bedroom. I was about to go to bed myself when I heard a noise downstairs and I went down and saw Brandon, who is 36 but about 10 yrs old in this dream, was washing a plate in the kitchen sink. He had his back to me and he had grabbed a paper towel to his left and it rolled a bunch of towels off and he was fumbling to put them back on and was making a lot of noise. I just observed this but said nothing to him. The scene was dimly lit. I went back upstairs and into Ashlis room and she had fallen asleep on top of the covers with her school clothes on. She looked about 8 yrs old but is really 34. I was changing her clothes and I started pleading the blood of Jesus over her and her room very softly as not to wake her up. She slept through it all. I then covered her up and left the room. I walked down the hallway and to my right there was another room. I looked through the open door and I saw a pair of boots hovering about 6 inches above the floor. They were like frozen in that position, not moving at all. They were right inside the room by the door. I went into the room and over to them and slowly pushed them back down to the floor. That really alarmed me to see that. I quickly left that room and then walked further down the hallway by another room. As I looked inside that room I saw, in the far left corner, a pair of blue tennis shoes. They looked like my blue with gray trim ones I used for work. They were beside an old school tv on a metal cart and those shoes were also hovering in the air. They were kinda slowly bobbing up and down and I suddenly felt like they were going to come at me. I took off running down the hallway to my room screaming BRAD! BRAD! and I glanced behind me in time to see a shoe come out the doorway of the room, turn to the right in my direction and come flying straight at me and I put my hand out and caught it before it could hit me! I woke up.
Stagnation / Nostalgia vs Mobility / Bravery
What an unusual dream!
Shoes protect our feet as we progress, tread on uneven coarse ground. In dreams, shoes tend to relate to how we carry out our plans. (Feet shod with speeding the gospel of peace.)
Floating shoes were elevated, not bound by gravity or the ground. Not comfortably anchored. If applied to normal life, that might indicate you're stressed about plans moving too quickly -- like a promotion, family trip, selling house, kids invited to advanced programs. (IMO.)
I am curious why the first sighting was an undefined room -- not a specific person's. Maybe just introducing the concept.
Then with yours -- the comfort of your own hard work and stable progress upset, control yanked away from you. Old television was also elevated on cart, transportable. (Like people do remote work, or get relocated.) Holding onto old, but it's changing.
Coming after you -- imposing, scaring you, unknown threat. Able to consciously steer corners. What was there to protect and support, became your nemesis.
Then you took control of it, and the threat resolved. Grabbed the horse by the bit. The reins. Shoes were grounded.
Family ages... timelessness of spirits? Or moments of their traumas?
I find IRL, sensing spirit of a person often makes them seem like their childhood shows through. Pain of traumatic moments, pivots where development paused. Days their parents ignored an important thing they were trying to say. (Your daughter too exhausted to change, after school. Your dh trying so hard to clean up right.)
Maybe insights for your prayers?
