Purging means to make free of something undesirable. It often deals with cleansing of sin, but could also indicate an eating disorder.

Positive: Dreaming of purging could represent spiritual purification or a person’s cleansing process. It may symbolize that one is getting rid of character traits that are harmful such as pride or offense through repentance.

Negative: To dream of being purged from good character qualities could represent being used by the enemy. If you dream of binging and purging (bulimia) it could represent self-consciousness and not being secure in who God made you.
