Dreaming of Dirt
dirt, earth, soil · mostly negative, except fresh soil
Clean soil is a good sign, but dirt that soils you warns of gossip and illness.
What happens in the dream
- Freshly turned soil around flowers or trees: thrift and good health
- Your clothes are soiled with filth: you'll have to leave home to escape illness, or submit to the law
- Someone throws dirt at you: enemies will try to damage your reputation
- You see dirt or mud: people will speak ill of you, and illness or dishonor may follow
- You fall in the dirt: you'll be treated treacherously
How you felt
- Shame or embarrassment: the dream often reflects a fear of being smeared by what others say
- A need to clean up: perhaps a wish to sort things out in your life
Ask yourself
- Am I afraid of what people might say about me?
- What would I like to clean up in my life?
