Dreaming of a Janitor

janitor, caretaker, concierge, custodian · mixed

A janitor speaks of how the house is run: poor management if present, petty hassles if missing, smooth going if found.

What happens in the dream

  • Finding the janitor: pleasant dealings with strangers and affairs without obstacles
  • A janitor: poor management, disobedient children and irksome staff
  • Looking for the janitor and not finding them: small annoyances will disturb your calm

How you felt

  • A need for order: the dream often reflects a wish for someone to handle the details
  • Irritation: a sense that everyday things are slipping away from you

Ask yourself

  • Who actually takes care of the small things in my life?
  • Do I need to delegate more?
