Dreaming of washing your hands in the bathroom - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may connect with a wish to wash away something that has been bothering you and make a fresh start.
At the sink, you wet your hands with water and soap and wash them. The feel of the water or the lather may stay with you; you may feel refreshed, or feel that washing isn't enough.
Korean lore: Washing your hands has sometimes been read as brushing off something unpleasant or putting your mind in order. The meaning may vary with the soap, the water, and how you feel afterward. (This interpretation comes from the folk tradition of reading washing as an image of cleansing or putting things in order.)
Through the mind: You may be wishing to put a recent mistake or an uncomfortable relationship behind you. Noticing whether your hands felt clean afterward or you kept thinking about them may help you recognize what is weighing on you now.
