What does it mean if you dream about clean water?

You may begin to understand your dream by considering what sort of clean water the dream presents. Is this drinking water in a clear glass, placed on a tidy dinner table, or is the glass sitting next to a filthy glass filled with sludge? Are you standing beside a crystal clear lake or a burbling fountain or a running stream or fresh rainfall? Or sitting in a bathtub being washed clean yourself? Each of these images has its own meaning, from refreshment to restoration to renewal to forgiveness.
