Owen SterlingA trash can appears in a dream as a container for what the mind no longer requires. The brain uses this image to sort through thoughts and set aside the things that no longer serve a purpose. By gathering these fragments, the sleep process works to tidy the internal space.
The presence of this object suggests a period where the psyche is processing the transition from active concern to indifference. A trash can that is overflowing shows that many old hurts are still being held in place. However, the act of containing them allows for a distinction between what is vital and what is spent. The dreamer finds that even the most persistent worries are being moved toward a state of disposal.
I have a pesky little neighbor that I dreamt tipped over my rubbish bin, I saw him do it and called to my flat mate to let him know he was caught red handed.
