Dreaming of Washing

washing, cleaning · mostly positive

Washing in clear water is a good omen and often means a move; dirty water or washing fully clothed means the opposite.

What happens in the dream

  • Washing in a hot bath or spa: wealth, prosperity, and recovery for the sick
  • Washing clothes: good news within twenty-four hours
  • Washing in clear, cool water: a good omen, often a change of home
  • Washing your hands and the dirt comes right off: you will pull off a great undertaking
  • By another reading: a certain vanity about your conquests
  • Dirty or murky water: the reverse, trouble
  • Washing with your clothes on or in an odd way: illness and danger

How you felt

  • A wish for renewal: the dream often reflects a desire to turn the page
  • Guilt: you may be trying to scrub something away

Ask yourself

  • What do I want to wash off?
  • Am I ready for a change of scene?
