Shopping in a dream can be a way of exploring a new identity. The type of shop will correspond to what area of your life you are exploring. For example a shop that sells food can relate to fulfillment; a shoe shop symbolizes seeking a new path; a bike shop can show how you want to move forward by balancing differing aspects; a clothing shop will show how you are making changes to your Persona .
