To dream of soot - to failure. For lovers, such a dream portends quarrels. If you dreamed that the ceiling or walls of the room are covered with soot, then the gossip that is being dissolved by your envious persons can cause you many problems. Dirty soot means that in a fit you can commit an act that you will be ashamed of later. Washing soot off the dishes, means that you will be forced to seek help from influential people. A woman such a dream promises the support of a loved one.
