Dreaming of washing a knife - dream meaning with inherited lore

In a kitchen or at a sink, you wash food or stains off a knife with water. The knife may shine afterward, or residue may remain even after repeated cleaning.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of washing a knife has sometimes been interpreted as a process of sorting out old conflicts or complicated matters. If the feeling of becoming clean was strong, it may also be seen as a moment of gathering yourself anew. (In folk dream interpretation, washing has often been understood as shedding old energy and traces before moving into a new phase.)
