I asked my mom about this who is into dreams, and she said that at first shoes are a sign of marriage, but in my case it seems like someone good will come into my life.

So far, my life is great. I am a happier me and it makes others happy as well. My view on life has changed. Before I broke up with him, I felt that I couldn't live without him. My dreams of having a future were shattered when he told me he didn't see me in his future. Now I realize that I don't even know who the true Chris is. If he ever wants to get back together, I'm not interested. I never want to go back to that again.

I feel like I have moved on, but the thing is I keep on having nightmares about him. A girl who played a role in our final breakup is apparently in a relationship on facebook. Seeing that, I couldn't help but think that she might be in one with my ex. I cannot check my ex's facebook because he blocked me. I don't think it's healthy trying to see what he's up to either. It doesn't do me any good but feed my curiosity, which in turn becomes an obsession.

Maybe it's because it's only been a month since we broke up. I am happy right now, but I think the devastation from the breakup is still generating stress for me on a subconscious level. So far, I've had about 4 nightmares.... I wake up thinking, what a mess, what a random, unpleasant dream. It makes me a little mad because I want to think that I am over it, but my dreams tell me otherwise. I have been thinking that my Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter in the 12th house makes me vulnerable to the unconscious and it's the reason behind my dreaming about him.

I've never heard the shoe/marriage reference, but, these sort of things can be cultural, and passed down from person to person.

My thoughts on the dream is that the new shoes represent his new direction. That he's moving on.
The fact that you spent alot of money on the shoes, and he wasn't thankful, can speak to the idea that he isn't reciprocal in your r/ship. /you give, but you don't get something in return, even a thank you/

RE: all the dreaming.
You have to understand that our brains process all the junk we deal with in our waking life.
Or, the junk we can't deal with b/c we have to work, and function.

So, at night time, it's like a playground in our heads, and sometimes it isn't pleasant, albeit necessary for us to process these things in order to work through all the emotions that are attached.

Good Luck True Taurus. xx

Going to throw out shortened dreammoods.com definitions because I'm bored (avoiding something for me).

Shoes
In general, shoes represent your approach to life. Wearing shoes in your dream, suggests that you are well-grounded or down to earth.�It also represents your convictions about your beliefs. If you are changing your shoes, then it refers to your changing roles. You are taking a new approach to life. If you forget your shoes, then it suggests that you are leaving behind your inhibitions. You are refusing to conform to some idea or attitude.

Money
To see or win money in your dream, indicates that success and prosperity is within your reach. Money represents confidence, self-worth, success, or values. You have much belief in yourself.�Alternatively, dreaming about money, refers to your attitudes about love and matters of the heart. It is a common symbol for sexuality and power. In particular, finding money indicates your quest for love or for power.
