Objects

Bag or luggage

What you have been carrying

What it often means

Bags in dreams symbolise what you carry — emotionally, practically, spiritually. Heavy luggage often mirrors burdens you have not yet set down; lost bags suggest something abandoned, willingly or not.

When it tends to appear

  • During journeys, real or inner
  • When you have been carrying more than is yours
  • When something needs to be packed differently

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Was the bag heavy, light, or empty?

  2. 2

    What have you been carrying that is no longer yours?

  3. 3

    What would be lighter if you set one thing down today?
