In Ammu's dream, she dreams of the man with one arm who left no footprints. In the dream, she was happy. It says, "She could have touched him with her fingers, but she didn't. They just stood together. Still. Skin to skin." That was when I began to think it was Velutha, because he is an Untouchable. I am still really confused as to what peole think about the man having only one arm. And no trace, like a mirage, almost like the dream knew that Velutha wasn't there forever, and he would be there with Ammu for just a little while.

The man from the dream, "Left no footprints in the sand, no ripples in water, and no image in mirrors." The way I saw it, the lack of footprints in the sand equated to him being Untouchable. The no ripples in water was a very Christ-like reference, which equates to him being a deity (The God of Small Things). The lack of image in mirrors was a quality that can be observed in ghosts. It was foreshadowing his death.
