Dream meaning » sponge
To see or use a sponge in your dream suggests that you are receptive and are able to easily absorb new knowledge and information. The dream may also be a metaphor that you are “sponging off someone” or that someone is “sponging” off you. Perhaps you are becoming too dependent and need to find your own path.
Mystical significance:
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.
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.
