The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge
- of money: has the same meaning as (see) Wallet.
- otherwise a bag has practically the same meaning as a sack (pouch).
- can relate to the dreamer's sexuality as a hollow and round symbol which can represent female genitalia; if we put phallic-shaped objects into the bag, then this image represents the longing for sexual intercourse and possibly also for impregnation.
- represents a burden (wishes, desires, unwanted things and dependencies) in the dreamer's mind.
- putting something in a bag: more uselessness that weighs down the path to happiness; it is important to recognize what we are putting into the bag; if other instinctual or sexual symbols or even images of sex are present, then this image is clearly a symbol of a sexual act.
- taking something out of the bag: alleviation.
- looking for and not finding something in the bag: advice of the unconscious: a burden never brought anyone happiness, even if it were made of pure gold.
- finding: more burdens will be added to the cross you bear.
- getting rid of the bag: gradually and by his own merit the dreamer's mind, cluttered with detritus, recovers.
- carrying: You will burden you own life with further uselessness which still won't bring you happiness; often relates to a place (e.g. at work, at home) or to people appearing in the dream.
- large or heavy: it's time to resolutely put your life in order and get rid of all unnecessary dead weight.
- carrying someone else's things in the bag: the dreamer's burden is increased by others' problems.
- losing: external causes force the dreamer to discard one of his silly wishes.
- in nearly all dream images a bag in the hands or in the interests of a person only places him on the instinctual level.
