Wash-bowl
A wash-bowl — for cleansing face and hands — often touches new cares that interest you and please others, with deepening attachment if you bathe in clear water but regret if it's soiled. The dream may ask where a fresh round of responsibilities is washing in, and whether the water you're cleansing in is clear toward real bonds or clouded.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wash-bowl, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a wash-bowl, signifies that new cares will interest you, and afford much enjoyment to others.
To bathe your face and hands in a bowl of clear water, denotes that you will soon consummate passionate wishes which will bind you closely to some one who interested you, but before passion enveloped you.
If the bowl is soiled, or broken, you will rue an illicit engagement, which will give others pain, and afford you small pleasure.
