Interpretation 1 — Versatile - Anonymous

Material aspects: When ‘mental’ junk accumulates we are not able to think clearly and dreams have the facility of enabling us to create order so that we can sort out our lives. Being able to categorize what seems to be rubbish in dreams means we can plan or decide on a course of action. You might like to consult the entries for baggage, boat / ship and rubbish.
