Dream Symbol
garbage disposal

• Getting rid of the unwanted and undesirable in your life, which might include self judgments, negative thoughts, toxic relationships, or personal habits that do not support your well-being
• A person who deals with other people's "garbage" for them—listens to their problems, caters to their neediness or emotional dependence, cleans up messes for them, or rescues them so they don't have to take responsibility for their own situations

The garbage disposal not working might mean you feel you're having a challenge in getting rid of what's not working for you.
