Cleaning Dream Meaning
clearing out unproductive thoughts
According to CHITTA's Universal Language of Mind, Cleaning in a dream represents clearing out unproductive thoughts. That meaning is the same for every dreamer — but what Cleaning is SAYING is not: the message is composed by where Cleaning appears in your dream and what happens to it.
'Cleaning' in a dream represents the act of clearing out unproductive thoughts from your mind. When you clean a space in the physical world, you remove the dirt, dust, and clutter that have accumulated. In the Universal Language of the Mind, cleaning reflects the same process within your mind -- removing the negative, unproductive, and cluttered thoughts that have built up over time. Pay attention to what you are cleaning and how effective the cleaning is. Are you cleaning a room, reflecting the clearing of a particular state of mind? Are you cleaning your car, indicating purification of your physical body through better thoughts? Is the cleaning going well, or is the mess too overwhelming to manage? When cleaning shows up in your dream, it is reflecting either the active mental housekeeping you have been doing or the need to begin. What unproductive thoughts have been accumulating? Worry, doubt, resentment, fear? These are the dust and clutter of the mind. Use the stream of consciousness writing exercise to empty out your conscious mind. Practice concentration to maintain a clean, focused mental space. A clean mind creates a clean life.
