Dreaming of sweeping a temple courtyard - dream meaning with inherited lore

You sweep fallen leaves or dust into a pile with a broom. You may watch the courtyard become clean, or notice that things keep piling up no matter how much you sweep.

Korean lore: Cleaning a temple has traditionally sometimes been read as putting things in order around you and easing the clutter in your mind. You can consider the mood of the dream by whether the courtyard felt refreshed after you swept, or became messy again. (This follows folk dream interpretations that connect caring for a temple and keeping it clean with putting your thoughts in order.)

Through the mind: You may be at a point where you want to sort out, one thing at a time, what’s weighing on you in your tasks or relationships. If the sweeping never seemed to end, you might also consider whether you feel you have too much to handle alone.
