A dream of wash water that won’t drain - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect the frustration of not being able to wrap something up the way you’d hoped.
Even after someone finishes washing, water remains pooled on the bathroom floor and drains slowly. You wait or push the water along, feeling frustrated.
Korean lore: Washing has sometimes traditionally been read as clearing away old matters or feelings. There’s no widely established reading for water that won’t drain, so you might look at the feeling that something hasn’t come to a close. (This interpretation draws on the common folk dream reading of washing as putting things in order and cleansing.)
