Sponge

Dreams of a sponge signify that you are receptive, allowing, and suggestible to the energy that is around you. You might be coming to terms with how you feel about others sponging off of you. Or your dream might be showing you where you must become more -reliant and considerate of the boundaries set by others. Also, this dream reflects your resilience, in that your life circumstances can squeeze you dry, but that you quickly expand back to your natural way of being. Consider the feeling tone of this dream.

The essence of a sponge is its ability to absorb. We use this simple plant life as a metaphor for learning at an aggressive rate, as in soaking something up like a sponge. In a dream, a sponge may indicate a desire or present circumstance in which there is a lot for you to take in.

The context in which the sponge appears in the dream should offer some clues about what area of your consciousness is currently expanding.

The meaning of this dream varies according to the action, but its omen is generally good.

If you washed with the sponge, it forecasts satisfying recognition for work well done; if you squeezed water out of it, you can expect an increase in your income; but if you tried to squeeze it and found it dry, you are being warned against indulging in any form of gambling at the present time.
