Well, one time I had a nightmare while I was sitting at a desk, when I looked into the garbage can it swallowed me whole. So a few weeks after I would try my hardest not to come within two feet of a garbage can and always tried to toss things into it, when I missed I either left it on the floor or picked it up, threw it in and ran into the other room..
