Dreaming of Sweeping

sweeping, cleaning, dusting · mixed

Sweeping promises harmony at home and love, but neglected floors bring disappointment.

What happens in the dream

  • You sweep: favour from your spouse and children happy at home
  • If you sweep as someone's employee: disagreements and suspicion
  • If you are single: a suitor will soon appear
  • If you are in a relationship: an outsider is charmed by you and may overstep
  • The floor needs sweeping and you neglect it: bitter disappointments

How you felt

  • A need for order: the dream may reflect a wish to clear the decks
  • Guilt: it can point to what you've let pile up

Ask yourself

  • What would I like to sweep out of my life?
  • What have I let pile up?
