(Bolter; Colander; Filter; Separate; Sift; Sort; Strainer) In a dream, a sieve
represents knowledge, discerning, honor, rank and discriminating between
truth and false. A sieve in a dream is like a detector of true banknotes from
counterfeit, a person who chooses his words, a choosy person of the type of work
he does, or a discriminating buyer, a pious person, or it could represent a comb.
If a sieve is given as a collateral, or as a promissory note in a dream, it means
that the depositor will flunk his promise, for a sieve does not retain water. (Also
see Bolter; Strainer)
