Hygiene Dream Interpretation: Insights from 1 Unique Sources

If hygiene is an issue in your dream or you feel dirty in some way, your dream may be commenting on an unpleasant past experience whose influence you can’t quite shake off. Do you feel emotionally unclean in some way? Is it time to make a fresh start? Washing and bathing in dreams may stand for a need to rid yourself of something you regard as harmful, whilst relaxed bathing in a warm bath may suggest a wish to return to the comfort of the mother’s womb. For Jungians, a shower has suggestions of an act or renewal, whereas a dream that focuses on washing hair may refer to a desire to rid yourself of someone, echoing the song, ’I’m gonna wash that man right out of my hair.’ Rubbing and cleaning your body with a towel can be a dream symbol of masturbation and sexual frustration. Dreams in which you appear naked or nude while washing or cleaning yourself can suggest anxieties about being found out in some way in waking life. For Freudians, it suggests frustration at not being able to express yourself creatively.
