Washing

Washing anything in a dream can be considered a positive omen that represents a cleansing or purification in your life. What you are washings becomes symbolic to the area was once negative or unclean. For the most part what is often cleaned still remains unconscious to the dreamer but the process has already begun. Washing hair in your dream is a removal of negative thoughts, patterns or things that were hindering your growth. Washing your private parts can be seen related to urges or sexual behaviors that have been cleaned up. To dream of washing your hands is metaphoric for removing or leaving things in your life that no longer serve you any purpose. If you dream of washing clothes or a washing machine it connects to the dreamers identity or self image that they are cleaning up.

(hands, body, or feet) symbolic of cleansing from sin, Ex. 30:19-21, Ps. 26:6, Jn. 13:8

The idea of 'coming clean' or removing 'dirt' from an object can suggest either being intimate, truthful or avoiding 'dirty' or sexual feelings. The symbol that is being cleaned can shed further light on what this is. If it is clothes, then you are 'renewing' an outworn attitude. If it is dishes, then you are washing away an outworn way of being fulfilled to allow for something new. See Clean.

A dishwasher or a brass polisher in a dream represent an interior decorator, or someone who beautifies and embellishes people’s properties, or one who attracts people to himself. A washer in a dream is also interpreted as a righteous man, a gnostic, a preacher, a teacher, or one who polishes people’s hearts with his admonitions.
