Sink

Kitchen sink, Bathroom sink, Faucet

The sink is where the everyday mess of life gets washed away, from dirty dishes to muddy hands. Dreaming about one usually comes down to how you handle routine tasks and small emotional leftovers. A clean, shining sink means you're keeping up. A pile of dishes waiting can mean chores or unresolved feelings are stacking up. A clogged drain hints that something is blocking the flow, perhaps a worry you keep pushing down. Water spilling over the edge points to emotions that have outgrown the space you gave them.
