Hurrying to collect trash from around the house before the train comes to collect the trash. The train comes through the neighborhood near the house, but not walking distance. Brad, my brother, and I are stuffing trash into a wicker basket. Then we are trying to include brown paper used as packaging material. There is too much to stuff in. Brad says "oh, I forgot. It's from 8 packages, not 4." Brad is looking for the train, yet, seems to be looking in the wrong direction. We are on the front lawn of the house, which has several wooden steps up to the mainfloor porch of a 2-story wooden home. Blue-gray in color. Marilynn, my wife, says that she has already collected the upstairs trash. We add it to the kitchen trash, in a white plastic bag, and take it to the mini van to drive to the train.
This dream may symbolize feelings of responsibility and urgency in your waking life. The act of collecting trash before the train comes can represent a need to clean up or get rid of something in your life that may be weighing you down or no longer serving a purpose. The presence of your brother Brad and your wife Marilynn may suggest familial or close relationships playing a role in this process.
The train coming through the neighborhood but not within walking distance could indicate a sense of timelines or external pressures that you feel you need to meet, but they may seem out of reach or difficult to achieve.
The idea of stuffing trash into a wicker basket and trying to include packaging material from 8 packages instead of 4 may reflect feelings of being overwhelmed with tasks or responsibilities, perhaps feeling that there is too much to handle all at once.
Brad looking in the wrong direction for the train may suggest a feeling of confusion or uncertainty regarding the direction you need to take in order to meet your goals or responsibilities.
The wooden steps leading up to the main floor of a 2-story wooden home may symbolize a journey or progression towards a higher level of understanding or achievement.
Overall, this dream may be highlighting feelings of pressure, responsibility, and the need to clear away clutter or unfinished business in order to move forward effectively in your waking life. It may be beneficial to reflect on what areas of your life may be in need of decluttering or reevaluation.
