Tracks

The manner or means of moving forward, literally or figuratively (as in the course of action that led to certain results).

Your journey or life path, or a portion of it (past, present, or imagined future).

Evidence of someone’s presence or existence, or what they left behind.

Dirty tracks across a clean floor can represent: someone’s presence, perceived carelessness, disrespect, or hostility somewhere in your life.

See Foot, Path, Walking, Dirt

A dream about an athletic track often indicates some form of competition. Race tracks, on the other hand, are more about the feeling that one’s life is a race (the “rat race”).

The meaning of tracks in a dream might also be drawing on familiar idioms, such as “off the beaten track,” “on the right track,” or “to lose track” of something.
