You are the best interpreter of your own dreams.   
   Shoes can be a symbol of many things..   
   For me, if I were analyzing this dream as my own, I think I would see   
   shoes as a constraint imposed on me by the mechanical system around me.   
   That's what it would represent now anyway. I stay in the NYC area and   
   just got back from S. Africa where I could walk barefoot anywhere and   
   everywhere.. and I did. My feet always feel cramped in shoes if I'm not   
   doing much walking.. and if I am then they are nice until I stop.   
   So perhaps a symbol of journey and not having them would be myself   
   feeling that I am not prepared for a journey that maybe coming or that   
   I may be on already or that isn't coming because I have not decided to   
   prepare and manifest it myself.   
   As far as lucid dreaming goes with this, you can program yourself to   
   use this recurring dream event as a trigger.   
   Every time you think of where your shoes are, do a reality test.   
   Can be something simple. Usually I think of things like:   
   Where am I?   
   How did I get here?   
   Why did I come here?   
   What was the purpose of this?   
   Who am I with?   
   Is my visual focus feeling like I am awake or not?   
      
   You can always just program yourself to do this when you are awake and   
   then hopefully in your dream you will remember to do this.   
   I wouldn't make the RT anything you get tired of.. so if you pick one   
   question and start to get sick of it, change it or else in a dream I've   
   found myself skipping the RT because actually I'm sick of asking myself   
   that silly little question.. and so I miss that chance. Keeping the   
   question something that isn't annoying helps in this. The important thing   
   isn't so much *what* the question(s) is/are.. just that you make a point   
   to yourself of reminding yourself to look deeper into your current state   
   of mind and surroundings.   
      
   All the best,
