Dreaming of a Trash Can

Dreaming of throwing garbage into a trash can signifies a desire to discard worries and forget unpleasant memories; however, on the other hand, it may also suggest a desire to escape responsibilities.

Dreaming that no matter how much garbage is thrown, there is still a lot of it implies an inner longing for tranquility.

If a person in a romantic relationship has such a dream, it suggests a desire to eliminate all troubles and for the relationship to develop smoothly.

Case Analysis of Dreaming of a Trash Can:

Dream: In the dream, I was participating in a soccer match, and we were about to win. Suddenly, a person with a large hat appeared, accompanied by many followers. Whenever someone committed a foul, they would surround and capture the person, then throw them into a locked metal trash can. I went closer to take a look, and I saw that their genitals had been cut off.

I felt extreme fear and woke up. (Male, 39 years old)

Dream Analysis: The underlying meaning of the match is competition, and in the context of reality, the dream is referring to competition in the professional field. The person with the large hat and followers symbolizes an authoritative institution. The locked metal trash can can be seen as a prison. Isn't it common for people to refer to criminals as scum or garbage? Being locked up in a prison signifies repression, and although it doesn't literally mean having one's genitals cut off, the repression at the mental level is symbolic castration.

If you don't want to be repressed, then don't commit fouls.
