Dream Symbol
garbage dump

• A person or place that gets "dumped on" with unwanted things, responsibilities, tasks, or toxic emotions or mental "garbage"
• Rejection, tossed aside, not wanted, not needed, or expendable
• Distasteful or undesirable
• The idea of discovering a "diamond in the rough," or perhaps you'd benefit from the attitude of "one person's trash is another person's treasure"
  

Picking through a junkyard can represent having to do something you really don't want to do in real life, or feeling like you're getting someone else seconds or rejects or feeling second-best.
