Corns
Corns on the feet often touch the small, persistent pains that wear at every step — undermining you quietly, distress carried in the ground you stand on. The dream may ask who or what is wearing at you from below, and whether clearing away these nagging hurts might free you to move toward something larger.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for corns, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that your corns hurt your feet, denotes that some enemies are undermining you, and you will have much distress; but if you succeed in clearing your feet of corns, you will inherit a large estate from some unknown source.
For a young woman to dream of having corns on her feet, indicates she will have to bear many crosses and be coldly treated by her sex.
Fontaine, 1862
For a man to dream his flesh is full of corns, shows he will grow rich proportionably to his corns.
