Trimatron 3 way push on off dimmer switch
I have 2 black wires, 2 ground wires, and 2 white wires in the outlet. The switch has 1 black wire, 2 red wires, and a green wire. I know where the green wire goes. Where do the other 3 go?

One wire is the common and the other two are the travelers.The trick is to find which one is which.... If you can see into the electrical box check to see if one of the red wires and the black wire are from the same cable, if they are then more than likely those two wires are the travelers; you can also look at the other switch and see which two wires are on the brass colored screws, those would also be travelers. The common is usually the wire that is on the black colored screw. Once you figure out which wire is your common, I'm thinking that it is one of your red wires, you would attach that wire to the black wire on the dimmer and the other two wires to the 2 red wires on your dimmer.
