Broom

Brooms, Broomstick, Jumping the broom

A broom sweeps out the dust and leaves a clear floor behind, so it often appears in dreams about fresh starts and making space. Sweeping your own home may mean you're clearing away small leftovers of the past, like the crumbs of old arguments or plans you've outgrown. The saying "a new broom sweeps clean" fits dreams about a new boss, a new role or a change you're making yourself. A broom also has a magical side, since witches ride them in stories, and flying on one can feel playful and a little rebellious. A broom standing in a corner suggests help is at hand whenever you choose to pick it up.
