Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Streets are symbolic of moving through your social and community experience at a fairly fast pace.

The sidewalk is a similar symbol for your movement through your community, but at a more intimate level. It also represents the limits placed on you as you move about the world by being told where you must walk, so in this way it is symbolic of social restrictions. What you are doing in relation to the sidewalk in your dream is reflecting your relationship with these limitations and social conventions.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
The sidewalk is a safety zone.

If you step onto a sidewalk in dreams it can symbolize a job promotion. However, this symbol may also mean the opposite of what seems to manifest at first sight. Thus, if in a dream you walk on a sidewalk, you must not trust in the security you felt before; you could soon go through a difficult period. On the other hand, stepping off the sidewalk indicates that you are about to lose your current position.

If you act quickly, you still have time to rectify this.
