Soap Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 26 unique sources about Soap

1- Soap in dreams suggests the idea of being cleanscd. We perhaps need to create an environment of cleanliness both of physical cleanliness and appropriate behaviour. Often in emerging sexual dreams soap can appear as an image of ejaculated semen.

2- Psychologically soap can indicate a need to clean up our act. We may feel a sense of having been made dirty by an experience and situation and our dream mind is alerting us to the fact that we need to deal with it.

3- Again, on a spiritual level, soap represents cleansing. There is a creative visualisation which can be carried out if we feel our space has been invaded.

The dreamers should envisage themselves scrubbing down the walls of a room three times in order to cleanse il (remembering to ‘throw away’ the water or let it drain away). Once is for the physical, once emotional, once spiritual. Following this, there will be a feeling of lightness. [1]

Getting rid of unwanted things (problems, worries, guilt, unpleasant memories, self-defeating beliefs or habits, etc.), or a desire to do so.

The idea of renewal or starting fresh.

Someone or something that makes it easier to get rid of what’s unwanted.

Cleanliness of body, mind, environment, or of a particular aspect of your life or consciousness.

The idea of slipperiness (such as a “slippery slope” or questionable motive).

You may feel a need to cleanse yourself of some troubling thought, idea, pattern, habit, relationship, or experience.

If you are using the soap in your dream, you may get a clue as to what is troubling you by virtue of what part of your body you are washing. Soap cleans things up in the present; that which you want to clean up was created in the past. Therefore, soap in a dream may be responding to a desire to take care of some shame or regret from your past. [3]

Some dream symbols are more difficult to interpret than others. Using soap in a dream seems to have obvious connotations, a need for cleansing and purification. Consider all of the details of your dream and think about what needs to be cleaned or refreshed. Washing with soap in your dream could refer to the cleaning up of your physical environment, your thoughts and feelings, or the resolution of a particular situation in life. [4]
Hot soup in a dream indicates a struggle from which you will emerge better than you hoped; cold soup portends an unsatisfactory love affair or unsympathetic companion; don’t flog a dead horse and feel sorry for yourself if it fails to respond—try for a new relationship, or if that’s not practical, try for a new hobby.

To dream of being annoyed by a noisy soup slurper indicates an exciting invitation. [5]

Soap is a mundane symbol of cleanliness, most obviously symbolizing feelings of guilt that you want to wash away. It could also simply reflect a need to create more order in your life.

If you were threatened in childhood with having your mouth washed out with soap when you spoke out of turn, to dream of the same may be warning you about casual obscenity. [6]

To imagine that you wash yourself with soap indicates that you need to “clean” certain aspects of your life. On the contrary, this image could also mean that the matters that worry us begin to clear up. An important nuance: if you wash clothes or a personal item, it is your emotional relationships that need a “cleaning” treatment. [7]
Dreams of soap signify that you are cleaning, purifying, and releasing old thoughts, habits and ways of being. Perhaps you are coming clean about a secret or an amends that you have to make. This dream may be telling you clean up your past by forgiving those who have harmed you and by seeking forgiveness for those you have harmed. [8]
Scented soap featured in a dream predicts satisfaction in love affairs; soap flakes or laundry soap suggest that you will have to cope with strong competition to achieve your aims; medicated or antiseptic soap is an omen of revealed mysteries. [9]
Used for cleaning the skin, a bar of soap may urge you to cleanse your body and soul of emotional garbage. It may come as a recommendation to do a physical or nutritional cleanse. Or dreaming about soap may state “Get clean” or confess. [10]
To dream of soap, foretells that friendships will reveal interesting entertainment. Farmers will have success in their varied affairs.

For a young woman to be making soap, omens a substantial and satisfactory competency will be hers. [11]

The use of soap in a dream, whether on your body or your clothing, is an indication thai you will meet with some minor triumph.

Slipping on a cake of soap, either in the bathtub or elsewhere, portends a family row. [12]

A dream about soap is typically a dream about something that needs to be “cleaned up” in some fashion. Perhaps we need to “clean up our act,” or just “come clean” about something. [13]
