Dreaming of Dirty Hands - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene of having dirty hands may be seen as reflecting on responsibility, guilt, or the burden of being entangled in someone else’s affairs.
There is dirt, grease, or food on your palms or fingers. The scene may continue with you trying to hide it or someone else noticing your dirty hands.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dirty hands have sometimes been interpreted as a sign that something troubling has arisen in your work or relationships. Conversely, if washing your hands made them clean, it can be seen as a flow toward being freed from that burden. (In folk dream interpretation, clean or dirty hands have often been read as reflections of the traces of one's actions or the state of one's work.)
Through the mind: You may be repeatedly checking whether you made a mistake in the work you have taken on lately. Rather than an actual mistake, the image of hands may reflect a tendency to take on too many of others' expectations and blame yourself.
