Dream interpretation

Dreaming of a broom usually speaks of an urge to clean up a messy part of your life. A broom sweeps away dust and makes a room usable again, and this dream often comes when you feel the need to free yourself from an old habit or relationship. What the broom is being used for decides most of the meaning.

  • Sweeping the house

    You are getting ready to put a disordered part of your life in order.

  • Chasing someone away with a broom

    This shows anger that has built up toward someone.

  • Trying to sweep with an old, broken broom

    You want change, but you have not yet found the right means or the courage to make it.

  • Buying a new broom

    It is time to start some part of your life again with fresh energy.

  • Someone else sweeping your house

    Deep down you wish someone would come and help you put your life in order.

When you sweep, a little dust rises at first, but in the end the room is far more pleasant to be in than before.
