I dreamed I kept noticing that things in my house were dirty. I didn’t realize it. I started cleaning the items. I talked to my stepmom twice on the phone. She was unusually really excited to hear from me. She came over to have a meal. I didn’t have clean matching plates for the salad. I said I could wash some. She said didn’t want to listen to the dishwasher run. I found some more plates in the cabinet, but they were all dirty. I hadn’t realized it. I was a bit embarrassed.
This dream could symbolize feelings of neglect or lack of attention to certain aspects of your life. The dirty things in your house could represent unresolved issues or neglected responsibilities that you have not been aware of. By cleaning them in the dream, it may indicate a subconscious desire to address and take care of those neglected areas.
The interaction with your stepmom in the dream may represent a longing for connection or approval from a parental figure in your waking life. Her excitement to hear from you and coming over for a meal could symbolize a need for validation or support from someone important to you.
The situation with the plates could suggest feelings of inadequacy or embarrassment about not being fully prepared or organized in your life. The inability to find clean matching plates may reflect a fear of not meeting expectations or feeling unprepared in social situations.
Overall, this dream may be prompting you to pay attention to neglected areas of your life, seek emotional connection or validation from loved ones, and address any feelings of inadequacy or lack of preparation in certain aspects of your life. It could be a reminder to take care of yourself and your responsibilities to avoid potential embarrassment or feelings of disarray.
