Boots
Boots carry us over rough ground, and in dreams they touch our footing and our place. New boots can mark luck and good prospects; boots on another, one's place usurped in a sweetheart's affections. The dream tends to ask how well we are shod for the road, and whether someone else is walking in our place.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for boots, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see your boots on another, your place will be usurped in the affections of your sweetheart.
To wear new boots, you will be lucky in your dealings. Bread winners will command higher wages.
Old and torn boots, indicate sickness and snares before you.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Shoes.) To dream of new boots and shoes, indicates sweethearts to the single, and friends to the married; old shoes or boots show separation, and dirty or old ones are a sign of poverty and sorrow.
