The meaning of washing or cleaning in a dream is a bit more obvious than other symbols. The item or person being washed determine the interpretation. Washing represents inner cleansing, the "washing away" of old ideas, attitudes and behaviors.
Washing dishes or pots may symbolize physical or psychological cleansing. Since food is served on plates, washing them in your dream may represent a desire to change your source of income, spiritual nourishment, diet or physical health.
Doing laundry may symbolize a desire to change your outward appearance and the image you present to the world. Washing underwear may symbolize sexual cleansing or the resolution of sexual issues.
Washing yourself or another person represents a desire for change or healing.
May all your dreams come true!
