Dream Dictionary Meaning: Kitchen Sink

• If a kitchen sink is where you clean up after nourishing yourself or your family, in a dream it might represent "cleaning up after" yourself or family—especially taking responsibility for its past decisions, direction, and actions—and "cleaning up" any "messes" that have occurred
• Responsibility for the mental, emotional, or spiritual nourishment of yourself or your family

A kitchen sink with dirty dishes stacked up can represent a catch-all—someone or something who takes on any and all problems from other people, or someone who has trouble saying no.
