Dreamers Dictionary

by Garuda
Vision: Looking at filth: you want to distance yourself from something negative or from bad company—whatever it is, that’s a good idea—follow through! Sometimes dreaming about filth only means that you need to solve a problem. Watching someone step into filth: you will cause trouble for someone—unintentionally. Finding money in a filthy spot: hold on to your wallet—somebody wants to steal it.

Depth Psychology: Dreaming about filth means you really believe you are dirty (physically or morally) or very plain (physically or spiritually).

If the dream is a sign of feelings of inferiority, seek professional help. But remember, dirt is not always negative (Earth, Manure, Mud) and is often an important symbol of personal growth.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Dreaming that you are dirty tends to indicate that you are guilty of something and that you need to cleanse yourself to the depths of your life. Filth could be related to turbulent issues in which you participate or in which you intend to take part. On the other hand, it is also associated with sexual instincts. You may be disgusted by this facet of your life.

It is possible that this feelings of guilt precedes birth. Some parents refer to early sexual activity for their children as a dirty thing, and this idea could affect the subconscious of the child.

If the dreamer feels repulsion towards filth, it could mean that they do not want to explore certain areas of their own sexuality.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Dirt) Dirty hair, a soiled garment, or a filthy body in a dream mean distress and worries. Dirty clothing in a dream mean sins.

If the dirt comprises oil or grease in the dream, it means attachment to mundane and material objects. Washing one’s clothe in a dream means repenting from sin and washing them away. Cleaning off the wax in one’s ears in a dream means hearing pleasing words.
