Washing
Washing yourself often touches cleansing and renewal, with change of abode and good fortune in clear, cold water but the reverse if dirty, and good news within a day if a woman washes clothes. The dream may ask where you're scrubbing yourself clean, and whether the water runs clear toward a fresh start or murky toward what won't wash off.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for washing, 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 that you are washing yourself, signifies that you pride yourself on the numberless liaisons you maintain.
[240] See Wash Bowl or Bathing.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of washing, foretells change of abode, and if you wash in clear, cold water, the dream is an omen of good; but if the water is dirty or turbid, it is the reverse. If a woman dream she is washing clothes, it is a sign she will hear good news within twenty-four hours.
