Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin
(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)

Interpretation 4 — Gustavus Hindman Miller
To dream of a sieve, foretells some annoying transaction will soon be made by you, which will probably be to your loss.
If the meshes are too small, you will have the chance to reverse a decision unfavorable to yourself.
If too large, you will eventually lose what you have recently acquired.

Interpretation 5 — Martha Clarke
Sifting is synonymous with purifying and perfecting: integrating the chosen and looking down upon the superfluous. The dream generally invites you to select those issues and people that truly interest you. It includes, therefore, your thoughts, desires and projects. (See FLOUR)
