What does sweeping in a dream represent?

Sweeping in your waking life means you are cleaning up. Sweeping in a dream also means the same thing – but there are many possible deeper interpretations of what you are trying to clean and clear out.

Symbolic of mental clutter

Sweeping in your dream could mean there is a lot of mental clutter in your life right now. Maybe you are thinking of so many things, and you are getting inundated with all the details of what you have to take care of or handle.


It is good that you are dreaming of sweeping – it means you recognize the need to clean up, whether consciously or subconsciously. Heed the suggestion of your inner soul and clear out what needs to be cleared out.

Symbolic of anxiety

If you are sweeping in your dream, it could also mean that there are a lot of things that are giving you anxiety.

Doing household chores is one way to relax people in general, and this may be something you are craving in order to let go of your worries. Do what you can to relieve yourself of your burdens.


Symbolic of spiritual disturbance

In the bible, cleaning with a broom symbolizes spiritual disturbance that needs to be cleaned up. Maybe there is weird energy that has been affecting you lately.

You can go ahead and figure out where this is coming from, so that you can do what you can to be rid of it. Or, you can just do what you can in order to be rid of these negative emotions – no need to get to the bottom of anything, really.

Symbolic of a need for more prayer

There is also biblical meaning for sweeping in your dream, that relates to establishing a stronger connection with God.


When you are more connected to your Source, everything tends to just clear up on its own, without you having to make too much of an effort.

It also feels as if everything you were trying to figure out so intensely just starts falling into place, when this reconnection has been established. You can see that it is quite worthwhile to do, so do what you can in order to achieve this.

Symbolic of barriers

Usually, you sweep your room or your house because the mess has been obstructing your focus. There may be things that are literally in the way of what you need access to.


Sweeping in your dream could be symbolic of barriers as well, albeit not literal. There could be barriers to good energy, blessings, or more abundance in your life, that you have the power to take down.

Notice how you feel, and what self-limiting beliefs you may have. It may be time to drop these and live your life in the way you meant to – reaching your full potential.

Symbolic of a mess

Sometimes, sweeping in your dream could just mean that you feel messy in general. Maybe you have been a bit out of focus and you feel all over the place.


There is no need to worry – and your dream is letting you know how easy it is to get back on track. Simply clear out what needs to be cleared out, and focus on your straight path.

There is no need to feel distracted anymore, nor to beat yourself up for how you’ve handled things in the past. That is all part of the journey, and you have definitely learned so much along the way because of what you have gone through.

Symbolic of witchcraft

The broom has been the instrument of the witch in traditional folklore. Even until now, witches are depicted with brooms as their staple scepter. In the Bible, brooms have been quoted as things that have swept away evil spirits.

To dream of sweeping may mean that there are energies related to witchcraft that you are experiencing lately. Don’t worry – this doesn’t mean witchcraft in the children’s book sense.

It may be that there is a powerful woman with energy that surrounds you – and this energy may be very kind, yet influential in your life.

It could also mean that there are people with a lot of potential around you, who could be of great benefit to your life. You just have to know how to discover them and harness their power for the good.

Common Situations in Which You Dream of Sweeping

Dream of sweeping your room

This kind of dream pertains to a personal kind of cleaning up. You may have a lot on your mind and hope to clear out the clutter, so that you can focus more on what needs to be done, or even what you want to do. Go ahead and heed this call from your inner being.


Dream of sweeping a friend’s house

This dream may mean that you feel that a friend of yours needs help in clearing out their mess in their lives. It could be that this friend appears messy to you.

Make sure that your friend is in the position to hear what you have to say and fully accept it. Sometimes, in our desire to help, we may be forcing ourselves and our services to other people, when they don’t recognize the need for any help to begin with.

Then our efforts harm them instead of benefiting them. It is important for you to recognize the difference, so that you may be more effective in your efforts, and achieve what you set out to do with success.

Dream of sweeping your parent’s space

To dream of sweeping your parent’s space may indicate a longing for you to fix some childhood wounds, or to iron things out with your parents. It may also indicate your desire to want to fix them in some way.

On a lighter note, it is also possible that a dream of sweeping your mother or father’s room may mean you simply want to help them clean up their energy as well.

Dream of sweeping a very dirty area 

If you have been sweeping a heavily dirty area in your dream, it may mean that there is heavy negative energy that is affecting you in your life right now. Assess where you are and why this is affecting you.

If you can, take yourself out of the situation first, so that you can clear your mind and get your bearings again. Let yourself find your alignment.

Remind yourself that you don’t have to figure everything out today, and you don’t have to take on the weight of the whole world on your shoulders.

Dream of flying on a broom

This dream may mean that you are feeling high on life and are wanting to get more fun out of it. It may be that you are exposing yourself to a lot of traditional tales of witches who fly on brooms, but either way, just have fun with it.


Dream of sweeping water

This is, as you may already know, a highly ineffective way of achieving any cleaning – unless you just want to get your broom wet. This dream is indicating that you may have been doing something ineffective in your life lately.

It could be that the way you are looking at a certain situation is just stressing you out – and it’s time for you to shift perspectives.

It could also be that the way you are going about certain things simply isn’t working for you. Don’t be too hard on yourself – just adjust what you feel is necessary.


Dream of sweeping something that someone else is littering

If in your dream, you have been sweeping the mess that someone else keeps making, this means that you feel burdened about taking care of someone.

You may feel as if you always have to be the one to save this person. This dream is telling you to take a moment and think if this is really the best thing to do at this time.

It may be just harming both of you instead of helping your cause – because of the dependence and lack of responsibility it fosters.


Dream of sweeping something under a rug

There really is a saying about sweeping something under the rug, which means that you are letting important matters just get hidden from view, even if they are still very apparent and visible in your life.

This dream may be saying something about how you have been handling your challenges lately. It may be more effective to face them and handle them head, so that they can be completely settled. This is better than pretending that they are not there, and still heavily feel their presence anyway.

Conclusion

There are many possible meanings of a dream of sweeping. Check which ones most apply to your life, and interpret accordingly.
