Dead-foot dreams cluster with career stuck, relationship cannot leave, literal neuropathy or injury worry, and depression flatness—cannot get out of bed metaphor. Foot is forward motion and standing ground—death means path ended or base collapsed.

Runners and hikers may dream literal layer—doctor if waking numbness. Immigrants and movers may read cannot relocate—valid symbolic layer.

Compare dead hand when craft and touch dominate; foot when exit and foundation central.
