Broom

A tool for sweeping — the regular, low-status work of clearing the floor of yesterday.

A broom in a dream is the dream's image of the repeated, unglamorous clearing that keeps a life inhabitable. Brooms do not solve anything; they handle the daily residue. The dream brings the broom when there is small accumulated debris in your life — emails, half-finished conversations, minor messes — that has been overdue for a sweep. A broom in use is the dream telling you the work is being done and the room is recovering. A broom standing untouched in the corner is the dream noting that the daily tending has lapsed and the floor is no longer fit to walk on without noticing it.
