Cleaning in a dream
Cleaning in a dream is read as a wish to put things in order and free yourself of what you no longer need.
In folk belief, whoever cleans in a dream is unburdening the soul by day. The dream shows you are ready to leave behind old grudges, habits or things that weigh you down, and to make room for something new. A clean house at the end of the dream is considered a sign of peace and of guests arriving for a happy occasion. If the work seemed endless, it is believed only that you have taken on a lot, so share the chores and it will get easier.

By tradition, putting a home in order announces guests or a pleasant change in the family. It is also said that this is how you sweep small worries over the threshold.
Dreaming that you are scrubbing the floor
Scrubbing a floor is read as a wish to start from the beginning, on a clean footing. It is believed you will set an old misunderstanding right.
Dreaming that you are dusting
In dream books, dust is whatever has stood aside for a long time. People say you will remember a forgotten plan or an old friend.
Dreaming that you are cleaning someone else's house
Another person's house means you are helping someone sort out their worries. Old folk believe such care brings you gratitude and a sincere friend.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
